I whipped up a simplified example of how I would probably do such a thing. I only tested it in FF and IE7, but it seems to hold up okay. It could fall apart rather quickly if your sidebar content is larger than yor main body content it is associated with. This should start you off in the right general direction though. http://stalkinggear.com/sidebar.html jennifer ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
