I have a table with three levels of headings and 6 columns; looks ok but I cannot find a way of setting cellspacing and colspan in CSS. Would appreciate some guidance - many thanks. Ron

many thanks for all your help; I can now position items as I want. I did find the code from dsonesuk to be over my head! I've now opened a new thread on tables using CSS Ron

eureka!! I found the solution - I searched through the tutorial on CSS and there was this little gem: <!-- .text_line{clear:both;margin-bottom:2px;} --> which I linked by styling a non-breaking space: <p class="text_line"> ;</p> works fine! I think this resolves my original problem unless you have further suggestions, so once again, many thanks for your help. Ron

I've tried Davej's piece of code - works great in the horizontal plane, but the following material - tables, images text - pushes up between the two blocks of text. I have also tried this code with two images - same result. Is there some way of keeping the following elements in their proper place? Ron

Hello many thanks for your input; I am now putting this piece of code onto my test page; will report back later Ron

Hi! I would like to position two blocks of text on the same horizontal line on a scrolling page; the first text is enclosed with: <div class = "firstposn"> block of styled text </div> and the second with: <div class="secondposn">block of styled text </div> The CSS style is: .firstposn{ position:relative; left:10%;} and: .secondposn{position:relative; left:70%} The styling of the text with "width" is such that the blocks would not overlap. However, when displayed, the blocks are positioned one after the other vertically. I have tried this with other elements - e.g. two images, an image and a list, and an image and a block of text - all with the same presentation - i.e. one after the other vertically. Previously, I used tables to get these items horizontally adjacent. I would appreciate some guidance on this. Many thanks Ron
