We're getting closer. I suggest: The element is floated to one or more named pages of the type specified. These named pages are created for the purpose of showing the element, and they are presented as early as possible after the page from which they are displaced. If the element is not the first page float to be displaced from the current page to the specified named page, its contents should continue on the last of the previously established named pages (unless precluded, for example, by page-breaking properties). -h&kon Håkon Wium Lie CTO °þe®ª howcome@opera.com http://people.opera.com/howcome
