Salut Aymeric, [content de te voir inscrit ici]

I have a suggestion : reduce the number of items in the list so only
one remains... Or wait one year or two so *really* only one browser
remains :-) Then it's already implemented and you don't need to choose
a browser (or a 'brouteur' as we sometimes say in our french jargon
:-)

More seriously, the top of the box generated by a LI is positioned
relatively to the bottom of the previous LI in the same enclosing
list. IMO, what you need is then more a scripting problem than a style
problem. Isn't a small chunk of javascript code a better solution ?

Positioning elements relatively to any other element or decoration
boxes reminds me terrible hours of fight with P language and of
implementation/debugging in the code of a wysiwyg sgml editor.  I
don't recommend that for CSS if simplicity is still a major concern.
