Thanks ..
This is what I got [site] [ http://home.earthlink.net/~draobyek/ ]
Now I cant finger out why in IE [ MAC ] you can scroll right .
and of coarse a position problem in IE6 [ PC ] . I really do
appreciate all the help !

In that particular situation, I'd suggest setting the poetry using pre with the poems *stacked* rather than adjacent to each other(so they won't break too soon on zoom). Something like: body {font: 100.01%/1.5 Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; padding: 0; margin: 0; } br.lead {line-height: 2;}

<pre>
<!--1st stanza-->
The good State has broken the cords for her spun;
Her oil-springs and water won't fuse into one;
</pre>
<br class="lead">
<pre>
<!--2nd stanza-->
[....]
</pre>
<br class="lead">
(and so on)
And use a 2-col float layout(*give-up the absolute positioning altogether*) that is stable and will work cross-browser such as the 2-col layout on this page:<http://www.alistapart.com/articles/negativemargins/>. You can make it fixed width if you want by enclosing the whole thing in containing division with a set width of 760px or so-- no other changes would be necessary.

Others on the list may provide you with a far better solution....

David Laakso
