If I'm looking at the right thing, the <style> element way down the
page? That is not supposed to be outside of the <head>.


I think you might be referring to something that the free domain
puts there. The problem I put up is independent of this, it shows
up off line. In my markup, I have my <head> ... <link
rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="main.css"> ... </head>

I wondered about some of that code. It just didn't seem like what I
would expect from you. That's why I didn't say anything about it. I
thought maybe you were rewriting someone else's code working your way
down the page as I've often done.

I'm not sure what you mean by "inline link mark up and css" then.

Yes, I usually don't put px in pics, I must have been trying to
be on best behaviour (how pathetic is this eh?) in order not to
distract commentators from concentrating on my prob by any lack
of units!.

I'm not beyond mistakes either. BTDTGTTS.

As for the rest, yes, there is no practical problem. You are
right about setting margin. It is not super important I guess,
just I am puxxled (let me leave this typo in) as to _what_ is
defaulted to _what_. Did the ul have (in so many browsers) a
default margin of about 14px top and bottom? I say 14 because
that is the figure I found that got rid of it in setting negative
margins to bottom of #banner div and top of #content div!

I didn't do any testing or anything. That was just the only thing I
could see that looked like it could have contributed. More than
likely, the margin varied/varies between browsers. I've often had too
much space for my liking both above and below <ul>.
