hello all,
Having posted a week ago about sharing div heights in a non-static layout, a reply pointed to Eric Meyer's 'Sliding Faux Columns'. While this article was fascinating, it wasn't applicable to my needs - creating the appearance of 2 separate boxes with defined edges.
After having a think on it, I came up with this solution i'll refer to as Sliding Faux Boxes.
http://www.lightholder.com/css/slidingFauxBoxes/
While not semantically correct in every sense as it requires 3 wrappers, it appears to work excellently in Mozilla and falls over gracefully in IE (which can be fixed with box model hacks I didn't bother spending time on at the moment).
Thoughts on the approach and any possible oversights of accessibility?
