Ah. I googled and discovered that IE has a fixable bug in relation to content that overlaps a negative margin, which seems to be the case here... apply position: relative; to the h5 and all will be okay. hat tip: http://www.communitymx.com/content/article.cfm?page=4&cid=B0029 <quote>IE will cut off the portion of an object that overflows its parent container due to negative margins. Luckily, there's a quick fix: apply position: relative to the float, and the cut off portion appears!</quote> CSS Negative Margins - Part One ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
