But when I see the same thing in every browser I test with, it makes me question if it is really a bug or if I just don't know why it's doing it. > (after all, vertical overflow on the ancestor UL is set to visible) > and not related in any way to the presence (or otherwise) of the > scrolling mechanism. Am I missing the point here? Well, the bug does not appear unless overflow is hidden, scroll, or auto on the ancestor "UL" DIV. Thus my point that "scroll" or "auto" does not always mean the contents will be visible, even baring influence of ouside elements. > > > Cheers, > Anton Prowse > http://dev.moonhenge.net >
