No, Lana, if you look at the code, you'll see that the bars are explicitly
coded images. I first thought that Jean was referring to the cell wrap of
"Conference Home", but that too is driven by explicit code.

As I said, the design might not be the prettiest, but we mustn't err in
thinking that design we don't like must be borked HTML or borked
browser-rendering. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. 

But I'm keenly awaiting Jean's response.

Cheers

Hi Geoffrey,

Hmmm ... maybe it's meant to be like that? I thought those extra bars
of colour (marked in new attachment) weren't meant to be there.
