I believe the problem here to be one of using more advanced features, when there are much simpler ways to achieve the goal. The article CSS file sets the body element padding to accommodate the look of the content. Then it attempts to defy that by taking the reference header out of the normal flow of the page. The straightforward way to approach this would be to simply set zero margin and padding on the body, then declare a div.content with the special padding desired for the content. Having done this, there is no reason to pull the reference header out of the normal flow of the page. There is also the advantage of having a sheet with nearly identical rendering in both IEv5 and NNv4.7. see: http://gly.fsu.edu/~gordon/test/census.html http://gly.fsu.edu/~gordon/test/article.css later, gordon | | http://www.alarmist.org/news/2000/03/census.html | is ugly in IE because IE nonstandardly shrink-wraps the box at | the top of the page. (It should be as wide as the viewport.) | <snip> |
