Copying your post: "the blue block measures its offset 200 pixels from the left of the red block (|#box_1|) instead of the document." The red box *and* the document have nothing to do with the offset of that box. Imho, the example should not demo his logic, but rather how things work... -- Regards, Thierry www.tjkdesign.com | www.ez-css.org | @thierrykoblentz ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] 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/
