Hi Jonathan. I have found the following book to be excellent and I use it as a 'bible': "CSS The Missing Manual" by David Sawyer McFarland. Pogue Press/O'Reilly. ISBN-10: 0-596-52687-3 and ISBN-13: 978-0-596-52687-0 Also Eric A Meyer's "CSS Pocket Reference" is a helpful, easy to carry volume.

Hi all. I just came across another discrepancy with IE6 and IE7. I'm using some gradients as borders/separators and some even have a border color set. To get the effect that I want, it's important that they overlap in the right order, so I'm using z-index to set the priority. The stylesheet i
