the best description I have of what I want to do is to take a three column layout and put a post-it straddling two columns. Then the text in the two columns should flow around the post-it on both sides. I can get it to flow around one side depending on which column I create the "Post-it" box in but not both.
http://akasha.harvee.org/3col/index.html the green box on the right hand side is my "Post-it" (aka callout). all the css is embedded within the page. as you can cee my the example, the center text wraps around but the right text flows by underneath. One suggestion given was to create an empty box the same size as the "Post-it" box and hide it underneath the post-it containing the text I want visible. The obvious problems are sizing of the box and positioning of the box. Sizing is not much of a problem, because I can always take the same text and CSS parameters and create another box that's identical to the visible one. That leaves positioning which is a royal "difficulty". This smells like a JavaScript solution in that the JavaScript code automatically positions the "junk Post-it" and does something to trigger a formatting of the page so that the text wrap happens properly. Interesting solution but not one I have any idea on how to implement. Are there any better/more complete solutions? I appreciate any help I can get. ---eric ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
