Thanks, David, but as I said I need a container that is 100% - 2em high, not a container that is 100% height and contains a 2em high block. In my limited experience marking up Flash objects, Flash expands to fill its container without regard to any other content that might be there, so I really want that content box to be the header's sibling, not its parent.
