Yes. IE6' "disappearing A:P element next to a float" bug can be problematic, and not easy to fix in the stylesheet other than by abandoning either the A:P or the float styling. Separate absolute elements from floats in the markup, and IE6 will render as intended. How you separate them doesn't really matter, and I've just added a number of <br> in there... <http://www.gunlaug.no/tos/alien/ak/test_09_0410.html> ...as a demo for how it works. ----- Such a degree of absolute positioning of text-carrying elements makes your design pretty fragile when exposed to font resizing in browsers though... <http://www.gunlaug.no/tos/alien/ak/fx-sc.png> ...so it would be better to ditch most absolute positioning and let the entire layout adjust to the environment and various end-user options. A better organized source-code with header and footer and two floating columns with fixed width and auto-height, would be a good basis, and there's no need to pull floats around with negative margins for a design like yours - floating them left or right will do. Proper use of background-color in addition to background-image on body. will also help keep all text visible. Remember also that headlines as background-images don't always make it through on their own. regards Georg -- http://www.gunlaug.no ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] 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/
