Hey all...

How can I find out what colors I can put in a .CSS file that would be
appropriate.
I realize I can put in any HEX value.  I want to know what the keywords are,
ie blue works great.

I have the following HTML:
<div id="header">
       <h1>

I'm trying to align an image vertically in a div using xhtml and css. I
don't know the dimensions of the image to display since the code is
generated automatically. I'm searching for a generic solution, not
depending on specific pixel-values.

All -
I've put some effort into a particular web site with respect to attempting
to design it well with CSS.  It's certainly not a masterpiece, but I
think I've done a fair job for a first attempt.  I'd appreciate some

I am using display:none on a DIV and using javascript to turn the DIV on and
off. It is working OK in Mozilla and Opera but IE6 refuses to display a
floated image that is in the DIV.
Can anyone suggest a workaround to this?

Having read a lot about boxes, hacks and IE 5 / IE5.5,  I see boxes lurking
