You can't bottom-align floats reliable. The way I usually solve this is to declare a margin-right on the float, so it can't go into the space occupied by the absolute positioned element. Same example with suitable addition... <http://www.gunlaug.no/tos/alien/test_07_3660.html> The exact width (value and unit) of such a margin depends on design-decisions, as it is possible to affect the absolute positioned element's width and make it adjust to its environment (its parent). This will indirectly make these two elements adjust to each other, giving you a near perfect visual illusion until the window gets really narrow or the text is made really large. A bit more manipulation of those width and size relations, and it may become almost unbreakable. regards Georg -- http://www.gunlaug.no ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- 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/
