He wrote that he tried position: relative as well and that it didn't work for him. This should have added Layout as well. I didn't take a closer look to the site, but I bet that (as you mentioned) position: absolute took the container out of the flow and solved the problem. And of course created some new ones... Adam: Have you tried to adjust the width of the container? Probably the problem is a rounding bug or a bug in the min-width javascript? regards, Martin ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
