A friend has setup an eBay auction with a flashy listing template. What is messing up is that the text in the headings is no appearing correctly. I have given it go in Dreamweaver but just cannot figure out how to correct the text so it appears in absolutely the middle / centre of the orange and black boxes..

Any tips / solutions would be greatly appreciated

    Looks as if it's correctly done on HTML, just not shown correctly on a live page...

    If I was doing it, I'd cheat and make the headings as graphics.
    How do I add a signature?

    oh dear...I did think of that but that's a bit time consuming .... Last and worst case I guess.

    Appreciate if any other guys could also give it a go? Many thanks in advance

    figured it out...it was just freaking spaces!! aahh.

    But the orange and black boxes have gone out of alignment now...if only a software could read mind waves and translate those to html..

    Change the style for col1 to have a 16px top margin

    So right now its margin: 0 16px 0 0, change it to 16px 16px 0 0

    This "pushes down" the orange box to the same height as the col2

    Simples.
