When you pick a nit, at least please report what browser has this problem.


Well, it's more than a nit, but I do owe you an apology. After studying your CSS, and doing some research, I'm forced to concede that there must be a bug in my browser's handling of relative positioning. It fails Eric Meyer's tests:

Thanks.

In brief -- your CSS does work (except on my buggy browser, which doesn't count), but it's a complicated, brittle solution for a problem that isn't actually a problem.

Wellll, that's mostly just a tweak away from the template provided by my blog host: TypePad. And I really really really really hate using tables for positioning. Need to investigate a better way of setting up the template for the 3-column blog.
