>From my experience, on handheld devices (like PDAs and cellphones) having the menu at the top of the page makes it more difficult to get to the content. This is not as much of a problem on the first page the viewer sees where the menu may be more useful toward the top of the content. On subsequent pages, however, content becomes more important than navigation. >From what anecdotal evidence I have read, similar issues exist for visually impaired views who use screen readers. In that every page they come to reads out the menu before the content. Again, on the first page, this is not as much of an issue. On subsequent pages, however, it is more important (in my opinion) for the content to be more prominently available. > in my thinking, you would have a large negative margin on the menu div > to bring it closer to the top of the page from the bottom of the page > which would make the positioning of the rest of the elements touchy. I have thought of this, but since each page will be a different length, I wasn't sure how I could implement something like this without JavaScript. Maybe I'll end up having to use a DHTML solution, but I didn't want to leave out people who have JavaScript disabled. Of course, the menu would still be available, but I'd still like ti placed toward the top. I was hoping their might be a CSS solution I was overlooking. -- Mr. Kim Siever http://www.hotpepper.ca/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
