Someone using Omniweb on OS X sent me this screenshot: [link\|http://www.labyrinth.net.au/~kenosti/ubersoft.jpg\|http://www.labyrinth...osti/ubersoft.jpg] LOL. Anyone know how I might fix that?

Now, only .news has as a position definition at all (it's "absolute") and the div tag declaring it has been moved so it shows up right under the header declaration. All the others are considered part of the normal flow of the document, so I just need to make sure that the .main and the .news columns don't overlap. The .footer text (the disclaimer and bottom ad) come after .main, so they'll appear underneath it. As long as .main has more content than .news (which it will) then .footer can stretch to 100% of the page without any worries. Er, anyway. It seems to work now. :) "We are all born originals -- why is it so many of us die copies?" - Edward Young
