Anyone know why I can’t get rid of the blank blue space on here? I don’t have a height attribute anywhere. (If you do happen to go here, feel free to click on the…well, you know).

As near as I can figure, it’s those dastardly <div…> tags. Notice that the one for the second inner box has a “top: -315px” attribute. If you remove that attribute, the box moves to its natural place, diagonally down and to the right from the first box, thus filling the extra blue space.
Instead of using divs for those, try using a second table within the first.
Thanks for taking a look. I don’t want the boxes diagonal from each other. I just want them next to each other without the height of the blue cell being so high. I could use a second table, but I’m going to want to move the boxes around and potentially hide them. I know it’s probably not a good idea to mix tables and layers. I guess I could try one table for the two boxes within one single layer, so if I want to hide them at some point I still can…I’ll keep messing with it…
Yeah–I know you want ‘em next to each other.
I think what’s happening is that the table is allocating the space for the div layers to be in their default positions, and only then figuring out where you want to place them.
Gee, that was fun…I just started the page over from scratch using all layers. But it is doing what I want it do now…

Hmm… I get a black screen.
Thanks for checking…working fine on Firefox, not on IE, which I hardly remember to test on.
