#thisDiv{
	width: 200px;

hmmmm.... so I've tried this and it doesn't seem to be working. Basically I'm trying to change a table layout into css and I've got a swf file and some text all in a horizontal line. Will this effect this code? Perhaps it would be easier to change the position of the table in percentages?

can u upload a screenshot of what your trying to accomplish?

a screenshot and your actuall html would help in this situation. Alternatively post a link to your live web page so that we can have a look at it.

Ok, here's a pdf of what I'm trying to accomplish... I really am a bit stuck, I'm trying to make the (albeit delayed) transition to css from table designs. The diary thing on the left is actually a flash menu with the tabs as the navigation. The text needs to be able to be editable on the page, so I thought that a background image of the pad things might work, aligned 85% and 50% but it doesn't seem to work with the flash file etc and I'm just getting in a real mess, so any help from the experts would be greatly appreciated..... Thanks
