Looks real good to me.

I don't like the borders around the link buttons. Everything else looks great

I can't not have borders around the link buttons for some reason.

It doesn't take "border=0"?

It's just an image inside of a link.

looks nice, cx

The page looks great CX.

I read interesting news today. Someone had made a research comparing bottle water and tap-water here in Finland. To me it was a surprise that the quality of bottle water is poor when compared to tap-water. I guess I should start to take water with me from home instead of bying water bottles during the day. I guess it's easy to make a mistake and think bottle water cleaner because the bottle water is from a spring, but the tap-water comes from a lake. Maybe the cleaning system for the tap-water is just more efficient.

The same in Italy. And, I suspect, also elsewhere. In fact, even if people are unaware, it counts the waterworks's effectiveness. If there's that, tap-water is the best.

Ah... YES! THE PAGE LOOKS VERY GREAT, CX!

Thanks.

As for bottled vs tap, bottled still is tap, it's just someone else's tap. The companies that bottle it claim that they do all kinds of filtering, but if you have a filter for your tap it probably does just as much filtering.

Oh, just forget it! Sorry I asked!

*I'm sensing frustration.*

Here are three different views of exactly the same thing....maybe it will help.


^^^ Here's some code. ^^^


^^^ Here's what this code looks like when in a html designer.
See the cells? The dotted borders. These borders are only in the design view, to help you see what you're doing. Some of the cells are nested into the outer cells.


^^^ Here's what this code looks like when published to the web. ^^^
The cells are still there, holding my text where I want it, but the borders are set to "0" so they stay invisible.

One way of doing things.

It seems like we have different kind of system here. This is interesting I know so little about America that I seem to learn something new everyday. I know what it means to filter, but do you actually have some kind of filters in your houses or what does it mean to have a filter on a tap? I've never actually used any filters. If I use lake water during hiking trips cooking it is usually sufficient.

The idea about bottled water here is that it's natural ground water from a sping that isn't filtered or cleaned with chemicals at least that's what the companies selling the water say. That's why it was so shocking that it's not as clean as tap water. The tap water here in our capital comes from one of the large lakes and although some lake water can be drunk without filtering not that one and they clean it someway before it comes out of our taps.

Filtering tap water means just that, you put an assembly on the end of your faucet that has a disposable filter in it that the water will run through when you turn it on. And since bottled water uses the local city water wherever the bottling company happens to be and they've finally admitted as much, they say the reason they charge so much for it is because they filter it a buch of times before they bottle it. Thing is, I have never tasted any bottled water that's been as good as the tap water at my parent's house, unless of course you count distilled water, which is about as clean as you can get.

Here we get charged more because the water isn't filtered and there you get charged more because the water is filtered.

I don't usually notice any taste in water, but the well water at our summer cottage is horrible. It's clean, but it has so much some mineral in it that I think it tastes bad.

About 120 miles away from me is the official best water in Canada:
In the city of Chilliwack. It comes from the Cascade mountains underground through a gravel river bed and emerges as filtered-naturally-1000-times-over as tap water!

But our well water is the best. Soooooooo cold and delicious. We donated our Brita filter (which we used to SWEAR by) to the Salvation Army once we realised it made the well-water taste less fresh.
