Courses Plus Student 569 PointsGrids failed again
Layout with table: http://baxter5.com/new3/thomas.html Layout with grid_4 or grid_6 (doesn't matter which it looks the same - not connected) on UL http://baxter5.com/new3/thomas2.html
Seems like it's not connecting.

Courses Plus Student 569 PointsIn the source code, I don't see it.

Courses Plus Student 569 PointsHi Eric,
It took me a moment to see it... I added the </div>... sadly, nothing changed.
Thank you for trying. ~Michelle

1,769 PointsActually, there are two unclosed divs. The only one that is closed is the grid-6 one. But anyway, because divs are block level elements, the grid-6 div will automatically have a line break before and after it, so it will always be on a new line. Try changing that div to a <span> which is an inline element. Divs should be used to define vertical sections of the page. Spans are more useful for defining horizontal space within divs.

Courses Plus Student 569 PointsWow - really? That's embarrassing.
I've been obsessive/coding - can't sleep.
Maybe I should take a nap.
