Yes, I remember the painful decision to step away from standards everywhere with this client. It's a kludge at this point. I agree. This layout is definitely killing some end user experiences. Client-insistence is strong in favor for the too dark, line reading width too long. Only IE 6 and above, if that. No screen readers... 100% fluid width not consistent. No 800px, not even 1024! I butchered a full working standards-template to get it to this current beauty. Yes IE jumps... Barely getting just FF & IE addressed. Statistics show 50-50% these 2, with 1% other browser use likely generated from testing, 1% IE 5 not past 2001. Definitely at the "work somewhat" stage. I've now decided to do a major pruning and just go back to a only-for-FF story board with header-footer, otherwise empty body/wrapper. I'll post if success. Yes weird on the earlier <del> comment, it was a early AM hack for IE, it has to go anyway for even a minimal degrade to work at this point. ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
