In html the body element is 'magical' in that it fills the viewport (aka browser window) even when there isn't enough content to do so. In xml that is not true. In xml the html element as the root element gets this 'honor'. Changing your body style to html, body { ... should fix things right up. Keep in mind that in xml there is no forgiveness for errors. The parser just stops and puts up an error message rather than trying to display the page anyway. hth -- Roger Roelofs ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
