Thank you! You taught me something valuable today. I usually avoid using position:, so I was not familiar with everything here. The answer came from using your suggestion to you position: absolute, and once I realized that the containing block needed to be positioned relatively, everything snapped together. So thank you, and how much do I owe you? ;-) Peter ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
