Hi Zulema,

I'd rather not use absolute positioning. It scares me. And I don't see how 
using absolute positioning the code can  be rendered in  the browser window 
like it was water filling a glass. Not that my code will ever do that, but 
I'd like to try.  I may have to use the big div method you suggest though 
that doesn't please me much either.

Thanks,

Seth
