Colin. You probably need to read up on the box model and document flow in relation to positioning. http://www.brainjar.com/css/positioning/default.asp I (and I think others) only use positioning and floats when the normal document flow needs to be modified to achieve the result I need. I try to keep things simple where possible. Setting margin and padding to 0 on the body element is useful if you want content to extend right to the edges of the browser window, but is by no means essential, and isn't particular to any single browser. Google the string "box model document flow" to get other references on the box model and document flow, they'll also have a discussion of the various methods of positioning. -- Peter Williams ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
