Hadien and Davej - thanks. yes, clear:both worked (float:none did not - the <p> was ok, but the <hr>s were still floated). Now I go back and try some more new stuff. I am going to try display:inline and display:inline-block and learn more. I will go back to the CSS turorial to try to get more on paging, sizes, etc. I appreciate the help guys. thanks again..

Thanks all, but I want to understand why the data after the tabs (in the nav div) are not aligning properly. If you look at why.html, I have the tabs in a div section (id = nav). This section is completed (i.e., it has a </div>). The entries in the stylesheet point specifically to entries in the div section(s). After the tabs in the html, I have 2 <hr> records followed by a <p> section. These are then followed by an <hr> and an address section. The 2 <hr>s and the <p> display as part of the <div> section; i.e., they are to the right of the tabs, insrtead of being under them. The address section displays correctly. The links just go to #home as I dont care about links at this point in time; I am just working on the display format. I dont want to change this from a float to a display:inline, as I am trying to understand how this works, and how to get that which follows to display correctly. I got this from (www.astroviewer.com), and thought it interesting that he has this working using display:block and float:left, when this site said to use display:inline.

I am taking the courses here and learning a bunch. Asd part of my education, I look at other sites and see how they do things. I got a couple of things from AstroViewer I was trying out, but I cant get it to align properly. The tabs show up as they are supposed to, but everything after that is still using the style from the nav division. I have been back over the style sheet (nav_slidingdoor) and cant figure out why it is still using that styling. I tried putting the last <p> in a new div but that didnt work.So, please guru's, give me a hand and show me the error of my ways. thanks, michael nav_slidingdoor.css why.html
