I suggested an "absolute positioning glue solvent", something like css: #abs_pos_glue_solvent{ padding-bottom: 15px; margin-bottom: -15px; line-height:0; /* only margin and padding shall influence the height*/ height:0; font-size:0; /* border: 1px solid lime; */ /* to illustrate*/ } html: .... <div class="horiStripe" style="clear: both;"></div> <div id="abs_pos_glue_solvent"> </div> </div> <!--end wrapper--> </div> <!--end centred--> .... the positive padding-bottom tries to establish a space below it (but frustrates), than the negative margin-bottom shifts the div#abs_pos_glue_solvent out of the viewport, and as a result, there will be a space in IE6Win, FF.9Win, Moz1.8a3Lin, Opera7.54Win. Since I didn't got an reply, I still don't know if it works on other browsers or if there is an easier approach. Maybe this method is helpful to you.
