They are even - visually, but you can't see that when one image covers the other. Stacking is essential here, as the containers and other elements are all stacked on top of each other to form a visual experience - a design - on screens. 'Faux-column' is just a part of it all, and only one of many methods available to us - and it's working just fine. Here is a "visually even" example of your page... <http://www.gunlaug.no/tos/alien/test_07_2050.html> ...and the only real difference is that I have made the left part of the uppermost, right, background-image transparent, so you can see the left faux-column behind it. I have then overridden the background-colors on #right and #left (so you can see the faux-column background through those also), and added a border to the #outline so it becomes clearer where the page ends. This has nothing to do with the faux-column effect, but . For good measure I also added a silver background-color to the #header, since you probably didn't intend to have the faux-columns extending into that part of the page. I chose to do it by CSS only, but you can also move header above wrapper1 in the source-code and get a similar - and probably a bit cleaner - effect. This has nothing to do with the faux-column effect either. I hope this can help you visualize how it all works. regards Georg -- http://www.gunlaug.no ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- 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/
