Francky - Beautiful. Worked like charm! But I'm terribly confused... WHY did this work?
I actually tried position relative previously, and while that DID work for IE, it bunched the footer up against the bottom of the nav area (as would be expected). But your * html ... solution did the trick for all. Is the "* html" in some way targeting just ie??? I thought preceding a rule with "*" made the rule global (so to speak) for all elements that fell structurally within that rule. Am I wrong? Is there a link you can provide that will explain to me why this worked? In the short term, great thanks to you for this assistance. Cole PS: Yes, I'd prefer to use a conditional comment to control this for IE, but the boss says that only one stylesheet per design is allowed. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of francky Sent: Tuesday, August 22, 2006 10:33 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: css-d@lists.css-discuss.org Subject: Re: [css-d] Please Help!
