About Your Test Page
Even you said it; the Preview button is your friend. You copied that straight off of Belgrave's tips, and you placed it in your profile. Use it, instead of making so many edits to a single page.

Testing of Pages in other Browsers
I would highly recommend you look at your pages and test them in Firefox if you aren't already. If you don't want to check it in Firefox, you may consider removing -moz-border-radius:15px; from all the code. It rounds the corners, but only in Firefox.

I am using the Opera Browser which is based on the the same program as Firefox. I am trying to setup a test page to test the code when I build something and some how I am screwing the code up. I copied copied the code from another page I have which is the same way I was trying to set up the page.
- Opera does not show the rounded corners that Firefox does. I actually test my pages in Firefox, IE, and sometimes in Opera also. I've noticed on several occasions that some things will work the same in one or two of the browsers and different in the third and that it's not always the same two browsers all the time.
- It is highly possible that you are not copying some essential part of the code. Break it up, see how the tables are nested, pay attention to the wikicode, use the 'Preview' button constantly. It's a very detailed layout (even for me) so it's going to take alot of effort to find the errors.

Right now what has me frustrated is that I have a 2nd red border around section B. I may have to stop and do as in your WIKI Tips section and just walk away from it and come back to it later. I will also test my profile out in the other Browsers also to see what difference if any will come up.
It is the next day after falling asleep in front of the computer. I found out where my extra red border line was coming from. Now I have to figure out why the top section shrunk after removing what I had in section b of my testing page. I am still trying to stay away from my profile since I am falling asleep as I type this little statement. I will talk to you later.
I now have a brown border along with the white that I set up myself. I still can not figure out what I am doing wrong. I am going to stop and go play away and do some other stuff.
