It is misplaced. Questions: - Why does margin-left: negative value and position:relative not move it a bit? Even IE6 should be able to do this. - Why does pointing the url() to an nonexistent location make the #left visible /and/ move it to the correct position? #left { background-image: url('nonexistent.jpg');} Can someone reproduce this or am I seeing an artifact due to my browser settings?
