Yeah. I'm sure it'd work. The only thing against it would be SEO. I may do that. This isn't for a real site. It's a demonstration for a presentation I'm doing to a writer's group, so I don't want anyone in the audience who's got IE6 on a laptop to suddenly stick a hand up and say, "Hey! It doesn't work in IE6!". I may do both just to show the choices that are available. The real site that I took this from is the site of the group I'm giving the presentation to (http://www.wss.org.uk): so you'll see why it makes a good demonstration! Thing is, I suppose, is that it's not the CSS that upsets IE. It just doesn't see the CSS under some circumstances. Given IE's history with floats I may yet have the same problem with floats. I'll definitely give it a try, though. BTW, when you say you're still seeing the same behaviour, do you mean the "Rendering correctly" behaviour, or the "Rendering incorrectly" behaviour"? I'm hoping the former, but fearing the latter. Thanks for the help.
