Because the same end result could be accomlished by using a very large spacer :-) We all use workarounds and hacks to one degree or another, but sometimes you have to drop back ten and punt. We sometimes seem to be reaching for the same carrots we were 5-7 years ago when we tried to make tables perform nunatural acts :-) > Actually Al, let's have that discussion off list.

In a perfect world, it should. But even using position to move something offscreen worries me a bit, even though we've used that technique ourselves. No one I know can say for sure what impact these types of techniques can have in all scenarios.
