Frustration continues! Bill R has tried to help (thanks Bill), but I'm still stuck.

marcappleman.com--is only 2 pages and very simple. Yet, two text boxes on the bio page (see head titled "education") do not meet properly--especially while viewing via MAC safari or firefox. There is a big gap of white space.

It aligns fine on my xp & vista computers. A different site I created with VSD is much more complicated and doesn't have this issue--

I want to get to the bottom of this because I'm considering whether to create a much more important site using VSD---but not if this problem continues. I have to be missing something very basic. It's taking way too long to figure out. And a direct email to coffee cup hasn't been answered.

Can anyone spot the problem?

I don't know if I can help because billr is a miracle worker, and I can't view the problem because I am using Vista, but have you tried changing the doc type?
settings>standard settings for pages>doctype>strict

Even if you do get this figured out, VSD shouldn't be used for important sites or sites customers are paying good money for. It's designed for creating simpler hobby sites, not professional sites requiring certain minimum accessibility standards.

Windy, if your email to CoffeeCup was sent days ago, be sure to check in the support section of this site to see if it's logged and/or has a response. They're very good w/ their ticketing system and often times, an email filtered as spam gets misinterpreted as being ignored.
Go to "Get Support" in main menu, and then "Your Support Room."

Well, VSD with the other tools makes for a package that can be used for professional sites.

I think VSD can be a great beginner-to-advanced website tool. So far, it's been good for me because I can focus on the important stuff; clean and clear layout, fast, sensible navigation, and the content people read, rather than the bits and bytes under the hood.

With the exception of the still-in-progress shopping cart tool, most of the important features are out there. You have photo galleries, various Flash tools, color selection tools, menu creation tools, imaging tools, password tools, a CSS tool, and more. The forms package helps a lot, so that communication can go both ways (to AND from the end-user).

Part of what's involved with accessibility is how usable the site is for someone using a screen reader, for instance. You can get an idea of this by browsing a site using a text browser such as Lynx. Generally, what you can't see, a screen reader won't see either.
