Thanks for the input.
I work mostly in design mode, as I am just learning html as I go, but I do
look at the code fairly frequently to see just what it is that makes it look
the way I want. I hadn't looked too closely at the code for the border. What
you say makes perfect sense. I'll try it out like that.
It's possible it got so complicated from when I previously had several boxes
on the page... or really, one large box divided into sections. I did some
custom borders, usually just adding in a top or bottom border, so I wouldn't
have doubled borders along the sides. (If that makes any sense at all... I
don't really understand why it works the way it does, yet.) Sometimes the
lines of the box go around more than just the text I've selected... all the
way to the top or bottom of the text area, for example.
Is there some other, better way to organize the information, rather than
using a border? Since I don't want everything to be in boxes, I don't think
a table would be a good choice.
I appreciate the help.
