Note To Self About Page Layouts

One incorrectly placed tag on a page, a tag without a beginning,
or a tag with an incorrect syntax, will cause complete havoc.





Dividers will always work if placed in the right order, and done correctly.
If you are making an inside tag, do not use 100% height. For some strange reason,
the browser will ignore an inside divider with a height of 100%. If you need
