There are no real workarounds, because the containers aren't interconnected. As you can see here... <http://www.gunlaug.no/tos/alien/ap/test_08_0121.html> ...the overlapping _can_ be prevented on narrow windows, as the menu stays in the green area and the main container centers on wide windows - 1240 wide and beyond. However, the whole line-up gets skewed on narrow windows, because only #container acts on the "presence of #nav" and the other elements center in the window on their own. If you relax on the centering then the line-up is easy, as the main containers can be floated left with a suitable margin-left to keep them lined up. regards Georg -- http://www.gunlaug.no ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
