Thanks for all the help Georg, Alan and Ghodmode...

in a way, it's good to know that part of my woes were due to sloppy coding and tags...

Well, I am getting closer to tackling this issue, yet my playing with values in the below body:after code didn't fix the issue which can be seen

Have more or less lost track of what you're trying to achieve...

I'm getting confused too, but I think I understand what we want to achieve.

So, I applied my original recommendation... I just copied my body:after
block into the stylesheet and this is what I came up with:

    http://www.ghodmode.com/testing/coffeeonmars/

It works just like I said it would in Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and
IE9... not so much in earlier versions of IE.


I saw a lot of mistakes in the code like opening tags without closing
tags and stuff that just didn't make sense. I couldn't leave well enough
alone, so I modified it:

    http://www.ghodmode.com/testing/coffeeonmars/fixed/

I put some explanatory comments in the stylesheet.

This version works almost as well in IE8, and is at least usable in 7
and Quirks mode.

Note that I've only used IE's "Developer Tools" Document Mode to test
rendering for earlier versions of IE.  I haven't used the actual
earlier versions.
