Please take a look at

[http://stepbeyond2.co.uk/test/](http://stepbeyond2.co.uk/test/)

Halfway down the page there is a line "have you seen the recipes on our blog? and a graphic to the right.

Both are supposed to be hyperlinks. Also I can’t select the text.

Any ideas?

You appear to have several Divs overlapping each other making the link/text unselectable. Resizing/moving the divs should help.

Also the link is only applied to ‘recipes on our blog’ and doesn’t include ‘Have you tried the’ and ‘?’

Thanks David. That makes sense… to a certain degree. But I am not a coder – exactly what is a DIV?

I just researched Div so I think I get it now.

I believe the problem was that I used empty Divs to space the heading between the line and the images below.

Si I’m guessing I can’t used empty HMTL boxes?

Instead use padding and margins. And space after HTML text.

You can use empty Divs but you run the risk of items overlapping. And a Div is essentially a CSS layer.

Thanks David. One more thing…

You will see that I have added eight HTML boxes and inserted the menu images and titles. Is that the best way to do that or would a table work better?

That looks fine - a table isn’t necessary for that.
