A few things I feel should be updated (just suggestions).
1. In the first step, you're missing a closing bracket on the "gap" class. Browsers typically auto-close it with the </style> tag right after it, but some browsers won't know what to do with it. And since everyone is just copying and pasting, everyone is missing the closing bracket. 2. Instead of using font-size:1px; to hide fonts on headers, use text-indent:-9999em;. Giving a huge negative indentation drags the text completely off the left side of the screen. 3. Using absolute positioning for the shows header doesn't always work properly, depending on the way people code, and if Firefox users have Adblock Plus installed. I'd use this instead: CODE div .whitetext12 { background:url(URL); display:block; height:##px; text-indent:-9999em; width:##px; }
