I can't play with - or debug - your IE styles at the moment, as I don't have all the tools available where I am now. It is however to be expected that IE6 creates layering problems - making elements invisible, and it may also need some debugging for float-margins. IE6 does however tend to present such cases rather well once we have killed a few of its bugs. Others may be able to help you with that. > I'm curious about the technique you have described here - what is the > purpose of applying those large negative right and bottom margins? > Presumably these only apply to the descendant styles (in this case, > just the popups)? Yes, and the idea is to make those floats take up no space when they come into view - as if they are absolute positioned but still acting and positioning themselves as floats. The method is presented and described here... <http://www.gunlaug.no/contents/wd_demo_float_03.html> ... and on previous pages in that short series on floats. It's all according to CSS standards, and IE behaves relatively well - after debugging. I use this method all the time, to create "impossible" line-ups, overlapping and layering, without losing track of positioning when dealing with multi-column layouts across browser-land. regards Georg ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
