So this is _NOT_ a question about laying out s, it's about how
to lay out two plain old HTML boxes next to each other. So use CSS and
do it with float. This isn't easy, and it's certainly not as easy as
people think to start out with. However a very good tutorial is over
here:
Be warned that many newsgroups (for obscure but excellent historical
reasons) have a real problem with new or unknown posters called
"richard". The slightest sign of forgiveable naivety (not posting URLs
to your work so far isn't popular) is likely to see you labelled as a
total idiot and ignored. As you also appear to post to trucking
newsgroups, it's probably justified. If you post to trucking
newsgroups you'll probably understand why, even if you don't deserve
it.

Damn! It is "Richard the Stupid"! Ah, next time I have to look at the
source more carefully. I feel sorry for the poor folks named Richard
with this guy's notoriety so prevalent.

A newbie I am not. It's that I have not posted into this group for
quite some time.
My last trucking job did not give me a lot of free time to play with
online.

Not quite right. The issue was over scrolling, which as I found out
later had to with the ignorance of IE7 and nothing with what I was
doing.

Brilliant deduction Dr. Watson.. Precisley the reason why I chose that
addy. So that people would not have to second guess who it was. Which
is also a spam trap addy. Reply to it, I don't care. I nev er read the
mail in it.
3 guesses as to who you are in real life. As you only seem to appear
whenever a certain other poster appears. Coincidence?

Maybe not, but I think the point is that your time would have been lessened
by including a url in the first place.

The good ol' GG filter took care of things, here, except for most of the
responses (the ones that weren't GGers themselves). :)

But surely your comparison beyond that is a bit exaggerated? He
put up with a great deal indeed. His family is taken away by the
devil, he is told lies about their fate, he is covered in skin
abscesses. He holds out from blaming God for hs sufferings in
spite of believing that he has done nothing to deserve his
misfortunes.
Jonathan, the only thing I can think of to compare you to Job is
that he too, in his Land of Uz, was on dialup - though he might
have had, as a special, a dedicated broadband connection to God.
Anyway, bless you, my son.

The last line of your post is quoted above - precisely *where* on that line
is the URL you claim we can read there?

Yes I was exaggerating, however I was honestly prepared to assist before
others uncovered the source. Apparently a real answer was never the
intention of the OP
