That's the culprit.

Set that to zero, then in the content area, you can wrap the content in a div and set the margins for that div (or give the td an id and style that).

You shouldn't use ... et cetera in included files, only in the main file. Includes are basically pieces of code, not whole pages like frames.

Do validate and streamline the code a bit, though. You have a lot of redundancies that could be replaced with more logical markup to achieve the same result with less code.

Ron, validate the html code! You have several opening and closing BODY tags, as well as closing tag in the middle of your page.

I wouldn't bother adjusting anything else until this is cleared up, as who knows how the browser is trying to determine how to handle the confusion of the code being wrong. Once the code is valid, then you will probably find the adjustments you make give expected results.

For beginners, I recommend http://www.doctor-html.com/RxHTML/cgi-bin/single.cgi as it gives a little more friendly results. I recommned using "Verbose" mode for the most explanation and advise, and since you have a section with random letters to fill space, remove the option for spelling.

BTW, the link you gave as a sample of your results didn't work for me.
