And why is something that >looks essentially like it's operating at the DOM level a suitable task for >CSS? Several problems (I have a list). For some of them, I've even posted proposed solutions. Though I seem to be having trouble getting even criticism for them (See http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2004May/0437.html and http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2004May/0074.html). What I'm looking for is the ability to have both vertical and lateral positioning within a container. I find relative positioning virtually useless. Absolute positioning doesn't cut it either and there's a simple solution to my problems (rather than rehash, I just point you to the posts [first listed is most recent]). Orion Adrian
