I placed different images in the footer (can be done dynamically too, I think) / tried clientside different font-sizes. The footer is expanding, but not covering up the globe, because of the principle that the globe is always anchored [negative margin-top: his height + some distance] above the footer-position, and doesn't influence the height of the footer itself. With background-images in the footer that will be the same (someway assigning a height to the footer to get the bg-img in / or just cutting off). Or do I see it too simple? See test pages: example a <http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/z-index-problem-nw-a.html>, example b <http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/z-index-problem-nw-b.html> and example c <http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/z-index-problem-nw-c.html>. (with bg-img in footer)
Remaining remarks: - Enlarging fontsize more as 3 steps in FF (quite a lot, though - and probably enough) breaks the general layout; in IE the max fontsize is o.k. - Parts of the footer can go under the bottom of the screenheight - but that is not due to the globe thingy. I think it is more general: the relationship between the height of the footer and the min-height of the master-form (and the way how filling the footer). francky ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
