Hi Jim - Thanks for the information. I had a feeling that it had to do with the positions, but wasn't quite sure why. I originally was using a float for this (which is what I usually use), but for some reason wasn't 100% successful with it. However, the link you gave me below does exactly what I need, so I should be able to get it to work.
I do appreciate the references and will take a look at them!!

See http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visuren.html#absolute-positioning for more info. Both of the elements inside the wrapper should be floated. Take a look at this demo and view the source to see the css. http://www.jimdavis.org/test/floaters.html www.positioniseverything.net has good info about bugs and hacks for using floats with IE6. Also check out the List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ for more info and ideas.
