Hi John, I am using successfully negative coordinates all the time. The problem you have is not the negative coordinate, but you wrote y="-12 " instead of y="-12" . Have you noticed the blank after the number? Firefox is right not to accept it. This is not a Firefox bug! Make the change and try again. The same goes for positive coordinates. Cheers, Samy
