I thought I remembered something about if you absolute position something, or have some weird float arrangement, IE has a hard time copying text, but sorry can't find URL for it.

I've seen this problem appear before. But when I tested http://webstandards.org/ in Opera and Firefox - there was no problem in selecting the text I wanted. The problem seems only to appear in Internet Explorer.

Select a word or two and next thing you know you've highlighted (and copied/pasted) half the page inc images. to see what I mean, see if you can cleanly select a couple of words from http://webstandards.org/. you'll probably end up with more than you selected can anyone explain why? thanx barry.b ***************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ***************************************************** ***************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ***************************************************** ***************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help *****************************************************
