Hello and you are most welcome. I only took a quick look at your code before hitting my CSS bookmark folder, since this was one of those things that, like you, I discovered first hand is slightly more complicated than it first appears (at least to get things working well cross-browser). I also apologise for not paying close enough attention to your requirements (was that originally there? It's late, or rather early here - as in after 2.30am - so maybe I'm losing my mind but I didn't see that first time around!). The last example link I posted uses background images and appears to be closer to your 2b (but not the same), Ok, so here is one solution, tested in FF3, Safari, Opera 9, and IE6. This is win2k I'm logged into right now, and I'll check on IE7 in the morning by booting to XP if nobody else has offered a better fix. But I'm pretty sure someone more knowledgeable than myself is likely to have done so before I wake. Change the following rule under style 3 to: .spanRightQuote { background: url("rightquote.gif") no-repeat right bottom; padding: 0 0 0 15px; /*only left padding needed as the span location has moved*/ zoom: 1; /* hasLayout for IE6 */ } and in your code: <div class="quoteContainer"> <div class="divLeftQuote2"> <div class="divLeftQuote"> hello world again hello world again hello world again hello world <span class="spanRightQuote"> </span> </div> </div> </div> Obviously that's quite bloated markup! Although I do see at least one of those divs is for the examples presentational purposes only. You can if you want use the following to achieve the same result: <div class="quoteContainer"> <div class="divLeftQuote"> hello world again hello world again hello world again hello world <span class="spanRightQuote"> </span> </div> </div> and add the margin from .quoteContainer2Inner rule to .divLeftQuote: .divLeftQuote { background: url("leftquote.gif") no-repeat 0px 0px; padding: 0 0 0 20px; margin: 10px; } Good luck!
