GreekGoddess -- after re-reviewing your iframe ?/comment I thought I'd install a couple of other browsers and see how things looked in other but IE.
In search of an i-frame site I went to your journal layout section. Heres my results
Looked absolutely awsome in NS 6.2 ; Mozilla; and IE 6.
Looked terrible in NS 4.7.

I did the same at my site referenced above with these results.
Looked as I designed it in & all hide/show layers worked correctly in NS 6.2 ; Mozilla; and IE 6.
Looked terrible in NS 4.7 & none of the hide/show layers worked.

So -- I feel like kinda owe you an apology for scoffing at i-frames as not cross-browser compliant. They are now but they weren't when I last used them for development work when NS 4.x was the latest from Nescape.

btw -- I like you layouts and think you have a pretty good eye for design. thanks for your input on this problem.
