Browsers have default-differences in this area, and styled stacking doesn't work the same across browser-land either. Example - an expansion of your test case... <http://www.gunlaug.no/tos/alien/test_07_3250.html> ...where your original is 'test 1' and you _want_ the behavior / styling for 'test 5'. Have a look at the other tests while you're at it, and observe the differences between IE, Firefox and Opera. 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/ ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
