Thanks very much Gunlaug - that did work! And Matljs - re the banner table, I work at a university where you are supposed to use their template for university web pages. And the template is all in tables!! Over time I have taken most of the template out of tables, but to date have left the banner. This time I got the lefthand nav successfully out! I'll have a look at using your solution next time but I imagine it will take a while to get the banner to display the way it's supposed to without being in a table.
And I've spent more time that I should have on this site already! At least I've fixed up the lefthand nav so it holds together, and displays correctly in IE6 (which is as low as we have to go here). cheers susie On 15/5/08 6:13 PM, "Gunlaug Sørtun" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Susie Gardner-Brown wrote: > >> http://crunchie.tedi.uq.edu.au/trials/UCTLC/index6.html > >> That big image on the right is a bg image in a container that has >> absolute positioning.
