My apologies if this is not an appropriate question for the list, which I've only just discovered. The prob may be terribly basic but has me stalled. I am making a version of Coleridge's "Ancient Mariner" (classic candidate for hypertext) with Coleridge's marginal glosses (and other things to come) absolute-positioned in the margins. I have given the body "position:relative" to establish containment hierarchy; the text of the poem is inside <pre> tags, and I use em-positioning throughout. At the moment I am using IE5 (Mac). If I zoom the page, the glosses lose their alignment with the relevant lines of the poem - which at first seems to indicate I have not got my containment hierarchy right. Yet when I reload the page (at the new zoom-level) correct alignment is restored. Is this a known problem of IE5 - or could my containment hierarchy be at fault after all? At any rate, I would appreciate a fuller description of containment hierarchies than what is given in the books. Thanks in advance for any guidance.
