Using the navigation examples from http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/~ppxsjc1/lab/nottnavi.html which someone posted to the list months ago, With some modifications, I created this: http://developer.metropolis.com/jmclark/scott/temp3.html Except, I notice in ie6 that when you mouseover any of the menu choices on the left (except for the first one) the main part of the page decides to dance... which then proceeds to cover up the text. This is a major css experiment... I used some floating div examples from ala and other sources... The way I have the page coded... is this *supposed* to happen? It seems to appear ok in all of the browsers except ns4 which I'll address later.. but beyond that.. any suggestions? help? hints? Thanks... -jeana
