Maybe I have stripped my example a bit too much :-) Your solution works only with that simple example. The "real thing" has a background image attached to the right column. (please look at the extended sample here http://paul-sommer.de/test/tablefree.html ) Expanding that image to the left side is not a solution as the menu column grows if the user enlarges the font size (Ctrl + in firefox). The menu column must be sized with em (I think). Otherwise the text runs out of the box if the user enlarges the text. ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
