Also one other thought. Did you try experimenting with the bottom "margin" rather than "padding" using CSS?

Using an   as an exact spacer will mess things up for me when a user comes along with a browser set to non-standard font size. Bottom padding seems to work differently in FF and IE as well :( I'll experiment with the spacer graphic. Thx! /m > I see now which block. As Dusty said, a transparent gif is one way. You could put into the div to give it a space for text. You could possibly put a padding bottom on the element above it to push it down or a padding bottom on the outer div. I would start there.

Maybe you could use the transparent gif technique just for firefox?

I have four items I need placed in there: - homepage button, full height, far left - graphical buttons, top left, adjacent to home page button - piece of text, top right - combination of graphical buttons and table based menu system, bottom left, adjacent to homepage You can see it at www.bankersx.com; the homepage button is the white text on black background. The only way I can get the last item to align with the bottom is to introduce a "spacer" div to push it down, which causes side effects in Firefox when there is no text to display in the top right hand corner. Is there a better way to do this? ------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, manage your profile @ http://www.acfug.org?fa=gin.edituserform For more info, see http://www.acfug.org/mailinglists Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40acfug.org/ List hosted by http://www.fusionlink.com ------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, manage your profile @ http://www.acfug.org?fa=login.edituserform For more info, see http://www.acfug.org/mailinglists Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40acfug.org/ List hosted by http://www.fusionlink.com ------------------------------------------------------------- -- <cf_payne /> Blog: http://cfpayne.wordpress.com/ Atlanta CFUG: http://www.acfug.org ------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, manage your profile @ http://www.acfug.org?fa=login.edituserform For more info, see http://www.acfug.org/mailinglists Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40acfug.org/ List hosted by FusionLink ------------------------------------------------------------- < Mischa Uppelschoten The Banker's Exchange, Inc. 2020 Hills Avenue NW Atlanta, GA 30318 Phone: (404) 605-0100 ext. 10 Fax: (404) 355-7930 Web: www.BankersX.com Follow this link for Instant Web Chat: http://www.bankersx.com/Contact/chat.cfm?Queue=MUPPELSCHOTEN ------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, manage your profile @ http://www.acfug.org?fa=gin.edituserform For more info, see http://www.acfug.org/mailinglists Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40acfug.org/ List hosted by http://www.fusionlink.com ------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, manage your profile @ http://www.acfug.org?fa=login.edituserform For more info, see http://www.acfug.org/mailinglists Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40acfug.org/ List hosted by http://www.fusionlink.com -------------------------------------------------------------
