What you need to do is simplify your XHTML markup some, use a mixture of fixed and relative units of measurement as well as make good use of your right margins to accomplish your goal,.
I think the bulk of the difficulty of implementing your initial design was that you were trying to pull off both fluid horizontal layout with vertical and horizontal centering simultaneously. It can be done, and it's cool when it works. The key is to provide a smidge of fixed width on the left side of your structure to act as an anchor point for the whole design, setting off the relatively-dimensioned elements to the right of it with a fixed margin-right value. Think of an accordion, or a bellows, and how the inner folds are fluid while the ends are rigid. Of course, the whole thing would be easier if all browsers behaved the same way, but the underlying principles remain the same. ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
