Thanks all for your input! I ended up setting the height of one of the div's in combination with a clear: left; style definition. For my particular situation that seemed to work for all browsers I'm testing with. /m
> The technique for the spacer image is to make a 1px by 1px transparent image and save as a .gif file then using the image tag, experiment with the width and height till desired spacing is achieved. Hope this helps and best of luck.

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 ------------------------------------------------------------- < 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=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 -------------------------------------------------------------
