I don't think the list accepts attachments. And it is not necessary --
give a clickable page uri -- anyone can open your css file(s).

Alan,
A rule of thumb is /not/ to use absolute positioning to layout a page(ap
layouts tend to be brittle, fragile, and brake easily depending on user
font-size preference and screen resolution). You'll find a simple float
layout will work far better for you. There is no need for any absolute
positioning, z-index, or height dimension. Let your content determine
the height of the page. This is an example of a simple 3col float
layout: <http://www.chelseacreekstudio.com/ca/cssd/layout21.html> . Use
it, or try one of the float layouts on the cssd wiki(address at bottom
of this mail) that suits your liking. The wiki is a great resource for
links to most everything you'll need. And if you post to the list as you
go along, you are sure to get good advice.
Best,
~dL
