OK, I have had help getting me to this point - thank you all for your help and guidance.
Now, I am having a couple of problems.
- How can I “lock” the left navigation so it does not move down as some reduces the window size?
- How can I make the “Celebrating…” div push the “our next…” text down below it?
- How come the left nav menu moves over to the left and the header information changes position in IE8?
So, too much to ask?? I am still learning so I know my code is not optimal. If someone could help me with that it would be a later thing. I just need to get this completed.
Here is my “AllPages.css” file
