RE: FN-FORUM: css guru needed help with css

Hi HRH,

I agree with you the stylesheet is in a mess, I've been trying different
styles to find what I'm looking for.

The margin in question arises from the different way's IE and mozzila
treat margins, IE measures from the bottom of the last layer, while
mozzila correctly identifies the hierarchal structure of
, so I was trying to set a fix that would allow IE and
mozzila to work. My masthead is exactly 178pixels high, this measurement
would stop mozzila browsers from pushing all other layers under the
fixed head.

Kind regards

D.G

I am no guru, but the masthead is set as position: fixed; Firefox
correctly treats that as fixed wrt the viewport which means it does not
move as you scroll and is therefore outside the normal flow of the
document. What were you trying to achieve with that? If it was just to
have the masthead at the top of the page it should not be necessary?

That aside, your headlines container appears to have margin set to 0 I
cannot see the 203px margin anywhere?

You might want to clean up your stylesheet too, there appear to e far
too many styles defined for any one page and a lot of information is
duplicated which could be defined a lot simpler.

HTH,

Dai
