Thanks for the reply, Josh... but that isn't the problem. To demonstrate, I updated my demo according to your suggestion:
http://74.205.76.81/blockuitest/ Even if that WAS the solution, it would force people to zero out their body padding and margins. Not a problem for most, but inconvenient for many. If you consider IE important, it's a blockUI bug. Any other takers? Here's how Boxy's author fixed it (in his own words): "I've added a separate sizing method specifically for IE6 which uses the viewport dimensions instead of the document, and repositions on scroll as well as on resize. I tried using this approach for all browsers but Firefox was having none of it."
