Hi Els, Thank you for your very complete explanation. Aside from the syntax errors, and the fact that I should have stated that I hadn't attempted to make any adjustments for IE yet, perhaps it would be clearer if (as you suggest), I explain my intent.
Actually, the page as it is displayed (which isn't the entire page, just a partial) looks just the way I want it to (in Firefox), except for the fact that the content in the right-hand column is being pushed down. So perhaps you can help me understand how to achieve that effect in a proper manner.

I understand what you're saying about the horizontal position, but -- the right column isn't really sitting vertically below the left column (at least not in Firefox). Only its content is. The top of the div is precisely where I'd like it to be, as indicated by the tiled brown background. But the content within is being pushed downward as content is added to the left column. That's the part that mystifies me. Thanks in advance for your help. -- Thanks, Tom Tom McNeer MediumCool http://www.mediumcool.com 530 Means St NW, Suite 110 Atlanta, GA 30318 404.589.0560 ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
