It's got lots of HTML in it and other random stuff. Use the <style> tags for you styles. Also, as a novice, you should avoid absolute positioning. It can be very tricky to use and I don't recommend amateurs use it. Two rules for absolute positioning you must be aware of: 1) The containing <DIV> for an absolute-positioned object must contain the style: "position:relative". 2) Make sure you set a height on the containing <DIV>, as well. Absolute-positioned elements are outside the document flow, and thus don't cause a containing element to expand to accommodate them.

I'm a HTML and CSS novice but my static FBML displays and functions correctly apart from in the IE browsers. I put my code posted below into a .css file, hosted it on our website and tried calling it using... <code> <link href=”http://thinkhousepr.com/fbimagery/stylesheets/halloffame.css” rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” /> </code> This just shows up blank, do you have any advice or point out where I'm going wrong? Thanks, Colin [ CODE DELETED ] Hi Tim,
