There is a contradiction in the spec: <q cite="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/visuren.html#relative-positioning"> A relatively positioned box establishes a new a new [sic] containing block for normal flow children and positioned descendants. </q> cf. <q cite="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/visudet.html#containing-block-details"> The containing block (called the initial containing block) in which the root element lives is chosen by the user agent. For other elements, unless the element is absolutely positioned, the containing block is formed by the content edge of the nearest block-level ancestor box. </q> Since, unlike absolutely positioned elements, relatively positioned boxes may be inline-level, the statements cannot stand together. ===== ---------------------------------------------------------- From Matthew Brealey (http://members.tripod.co.uk/lawnet (for law)or http://members.tripod.co.uk/lawnet/WEBFRAME.HTM (for CSS)) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
