Believe it or not, they're not as hard to read as many make them out to be, and the more you familiarize yourself with them the stronger you will become at CSS. When I searched for "block formatting context" at www.w3.org, the first result was this page: http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visuren.html In the table on contents listed here, there was an item listed "9.4.1 Block formatting contexts." I clicked on this link and was taken to this bit of information: "Floats, absolutely positioned elements, inline-blocks, table-cells, and elements with 'overflow' other than 'visible' establish new block formatting contexts." Not hard to find and not hard to understand. :-) The specs can be hard, but they are always worth a look when a question like this arises -- chances are, they've already answered your question and can give you the info you need far faster than waiting for responses from a list. If you don't understand the information they yield, then bring it to the list. Zoe -- Zoe M.
