The problem is probably that you are using lots of "position:absolute" in your layouts. When items are positioned in this way, they are "taken out of the document flow" meaning that subsequent items don't even know that they are there, resulting in elements overlapping each other. For a really good explanation of the behaviour of elements in CSS-P, try http://www.brainjar.com/css/positioning/ Absolute positioning can be useful for putting elements on top of each other, but is rarely a good solution for an entire layout. Because it seems so easy to start with, many developers new to CSS layouts tend to use absolute positioning and then get very frustrated. Rather than using position:absolute, try using floated elements and maybe some position:relative instead. Better yet, rather than trying to reinvent the wheel, start with one of the pre-built layouts on http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=CssLayouts and change it to suit your requirements. -- Kay Smoljak http://kay.smoljak.com/ http://kay.zombiecoder.com/ http://goatlady.wordpress.com/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:229573 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
