Hi Georg, I was so busy checking all the numbers I failed to look at the float and positioning issues, which is exactly where the problem was. Your instructions worked perfectly.
Thanks so much for this insight into css! I've only been doing this a few months and continue to learn daily from this great group of css masters.

You're position in "thin air" (relative to nothing) :-) Not all browsers will interpret such a positioning the same way. Add: #wrap {position: relative;} ...in order to get a relation, and then add... #sidebar {left: 0;} ...to get IE in on where to position the element. Also, delete: #sidebar {float: left;} ...since an absolute positioned element can't float anyway. > There also seems to be padding inside the #wrap border when viewed in > IE 6, but again, it displays properly in Firefox. Didn't look for the exact cause of this, but adding: * html #wrap {overflow-x: hidden;} ...will fix IE6. regards Georg ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
