It makes good sense, just wish it worked. I posted a screenshot at http://sbridges2.econ.iastate.edu/~sbridges/screenshot.jpg that shows what I see in FF. FWIW, I can no longer reproduce it in IE, Opera or Mozilla 1.8b2 (buildID 2005051905) on WinXP. It looks like the screenshot in both Firefox and Mozilla on Linux, so maybe it is somethat that got fixed with the newer moz builds. I think at some point I need to revisit my layout in general. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Stephanie Bridges Economics Department -- Iowa State University 80B Heady Hall, Ames, IA 50011 ph: 515.294.8732 ~~ fax: 515.294.0221 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
