Also following Philippe's caveat that a solution is
only suitable if it fits the needed "look" of the
page, this issue can also be avoided by floating to
the right. I do a lot of that for my local apps--I
use HTML for my work notes, for instance, because
the computer in my work area doesn't have any DB
program at all, but it does have IE.
