stacking bugs ? something for me to research.
You'll find few references to that bug under that name. It's rather a
description of how the bug works - individual
.
Can anyone tell me why this is so?

IE6 has stacking bugs, which in your case results in a hidden ul.
Adding...
ul#img {position: relative;}
...will lift that container up in front - making it visible, without any
negative effects across browser-land AFAICS.

Thanks Adam and John
I think it will be just a matter of adding the odd photo and bit of text
so will check out WordPress etc. It certainly won't be a full-blown
management system that is required.
Thanks for the input.

Yes, I always try to do all updating myself and this is the first
client that really needs to do it as it will be a fairly frequent event.
I had a talk to him and it will only be replacing one photo with
another and changing a bit of text so nothing too onerous.

You are quite right - I didn't clear it properly - at least as far as IE

In Fx the image disappears completely. In IE the righthalf of the image
is visible but the left half is hidden under #container which is still

If it's a fluid design, surely height and width are inextricably
linked. As the width narrows, the height increases. From your
description, maybe your client seems to be lacking in web content,
which cannot be cured by means of design alone. If they're obsessed

Yes, I think padding is the problem with the overall issue. The
