It's >too buggy to have a top margin on the first block element in a >page. That will move the col down where you want it. (now in IE6) that does move the column down, but then the "banner" div in the header drops too. and also the left column moves up over the logo image. it seems like all of these are caused by whatever makes the banner dropdown, but maybe not. my goal would be of course to have all the columns even at the top. the red line is even with the bottom edge of the logo, and the H1 sits right on top of the left end of the line. oh, and the bullet discs don't show up in IE6! >If you want #midCol to have a decent amount of room for content, >you need to reduce the "right" value on the right column. as i said i am duplicating what was handed to me, i would change a lot if it were up to me. but then if it were up to me i would not try for precision and just oh, screw it it looks good this way. so the educational challenge at this point is to gain enough control to whatever i want. i think i am a long way off from checking it in IE5, etc. although it does look almost correct in Opera 7. >PS--h1 should be used only once on a page.
