No, I'm afraid your thinking is flawed for positioning bits of text on top of a fixed background (image). For the left column only: if you want to use a fixed background for your text - links or whatever, this is the most steady method... <http://www.gunlaug.no/tos/alien/dmg/test_09_0130.html> <http://www.gunlaug.no/tos/alien/dmg/test_09_0130_files/styles00.css> ....where individual paragraphs are absolute positioned. Those paragraphs will adjust vertically for font resizing, but long lines will overflow horizontally pretty quickly. If you want links instead, just replace the <p>s with <a>s. Sidenote: The entire <http://www.dmcentral.net/eweb/> shows that you're relying on what you see for browser-defaults at your end - your layout has no flexibility. Not a good idea since that means your layout is doomed to fail... <http://www.gunlaug.no/contents/wd_additions_37.html> ....and I do not think you want that :-) You're also declaring a number of properties/values back to their default-values. Although there's no harm in doing so, you get a lot of unnecessary declarations in there. regards Georg -- http://www.gunlaug.no ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL-REMOVED]] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
