I'd replace that whole link with this instead:
<a href="test.html" onclick="return !window.open(this.href, 'popup', 'width=300,scrollbars=yes')">Excerpt from "War Star Rising" (popup)</a>
The above has the advantage that if users have popups disabled (as many do) then it works like a normal link.

Thanks Tailslide :-) I changed the popup to a regular link. That fixed that problem completely. I appreciate your help with that.
Does anyone know what might be a cure for the footer problem? Right now it shows up as a partial green footer with a break that shows the background and then the copyright info. In IE7 it's a solid green background strip for the footer and that's the way I'd like it to be if possible.
Thanks for any help. I'm a newbie and am green behind the ears!

You might consider putting everything into one style sheet (to help maintain it later).
If you have Expression Web, take a look at the source code - it will highlight a couple of ending tags that are out of place.
I did not take a look at all the styles but you have <tr>
<td align="center" class="footer"> <p class="footer"><a href="index.html">
Home</a> ~ <a href="Novels.html">Novels</a> ~ <a href="MeetZooDoc.html">Meet
ZooDoc</a> ~ <a href="Photos.html">Photos</a> ~ <a href="Questions.html">
Questions</a></p></td>
<td class="copyright"> <div align="center" class="footer">
<div class="copyright">© ZooDoc_RP 2008 <u>All Rights Reserved</u></div>
</div></td>
</tr> Chances are this footer / copyright is where your colors are and it might be confusing as to which one you want. Styles will overwrite one another so the
<div class="copyright"> should hopefully be the one that is shown (overwriting the previous two (if any styles are in there)).

Hi Corey,
Thanks for that. I think that the styles were sort of doing some canceling of each other out somehow. I did have both the footer style and the copyright style set to the same green color. For some reason a portion of the area ended up being the tables background image light green color. So I took out the color out of the copyright style.
So now the whole footer is green but I can't get it to have the padding that I need. I go to footer and copyright and try to add padding (or margin on top of the div tag) and nothing seems to help me to have padding. Would like the padding of the footer to look like the individual photo pages like shown on this page.

... instead of how the footer looks all skinny like on this page
www.zoodoc-stories.com
I think I put so many styles etc. that something is overriding when I try to add padding.
With my first try at webdesign, I'm almost finished! Just this last thing to figure out.
Thanks for any help if you see what I might change,
~Tamara

If you think you have too many styles - you probably do.
I would first get all the styles in one place (by the name - I would not put spaces in the file / folder names and I would not use (single) quotation marks in the file / folder names). But if you do not have the styles in on file, it will make it very difficult for you to work with them - and drive you crazy when you are trying to get something to work. And it will make it easier for others to help you as well.
And definitely have all the properties in one place. One the two pages you gave, you have .copyright {
text-decoration: none;
padding: 5px;
font-size: 12px;
float: right;
vertical-align: middle;
margin: 0px;
} in your /CSS-styles/Ron's%20styles.css page and then you also have .footer .footer .copyright {
margin-top: 5px;
} on your homeanimals.html page. This could potentially be the reason why you see different footers.
BTW, did I mention have those CSS all over the place will drive you crazy trying to figure out the little things and make it more difficult for users to help.

I will definitely work on being concise with the style for my own website. Hubby's happy with this one though, so I'm happy.
