K, I have a page where there is a header and footer SSI included. On this same page i would ovbiously like a div that is for content. The div really likes to be at the top and it’s making me angry.

I was thinking it was conflicting CSS so i named all ids different. I think it may now have to do with multiple head and body tags. There is only one set of body CSS properties in the “e4x.css”. Hmmm…
