The only way I know is to position the parent element relative and the child(ren) absolute. .blueHeader { width: 760px; position: relative; /* padding-left: 10px; */ background: #315563 url(grey_blue_corner.gif) no-repeat top right; min-height: 25px; _height: 25px; } .blueHeader p {position: absolute; padding-left: 10px; /* background: #315563; */ top: 12px; margin-top: -0.6em; /* value is corresponding with the line-height of 1.2 in this case. */ } <div class="blueHeader"><p>dasdas |d dasdas</p></div> Regards, Uwe Kaiser ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
