Hi,

In version 6 browsers background colours set on headings and block level
elements display behind images e.g.
This CSS definition: h1 {background-color: #ff0000; } and this html

<img height="72" alt="" src="/images/blah.jpg" width="200" align="right" />
<h1>heading</h1>

would give you and image on the right with a red band appearing behind it.

Can anyone think of a way of turning off this behaviour so that band only
extends to the side of the image and not behind it??

Cheers,

Fraser
