That's easier than stacking, yes. >> Also a number of contradicting styles in your page, which makes it >> less cooperative.

Nice mix :-) In case something get "lost in translation" somewhere, here's a newly modified example of what can be done visually with Ingo's "companion column method" when combined with my "conditionally fixed-elastic-fixed" layouts an "px/em based min/max expression for IE6"... <http://www.gunlaug.no/tos/alien/ic/test_08_0415.html> It's a pretty versatile method. > As I understand it, footerstickalt precludes having a global > container to set width (because the 100% height has to pass down the > chain of inheritance), so I was looking at having 3 elements to > handle when I get the min-max for IE working again.

I use "global container" / wrapper with a declared and expression-controlled 'width', so there shouldn't be any problems making it all work together without adding more IDs or CLASSes. > It's just about in shape now, > http://www.vine.org.nz/index.php/adult-classes except pages seem to > be an em too tall in most browsers, and I haven't yet spotted where > that snuck in. #footer's height too short. Try #footer {height: auto;} and/or adjust 'height' to taste. regards Georg -- http://www.gunlaug.no ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
