It appears both the one that matches what I want from the first set and the 2nd link use float and negative margins, which is already what I'm using for layout of the 3 columns inside of "CenterBox". The problem I'm having is that if I make "CenterBox" use anything other than position:absolute, that 3 column layout no longer stays *within* the "CenterBox" DIV (it becomes zero height). -- Andrew Gaffney agaffney.org ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
