BINGO!
That did it, allright. Thanks.
But... I liked the fixed position banner thang. I though I was so clever to work out a way

to do it while degrading gracefully. It almost worked, too. Is it possible to use fixed 
positioning without blowing up in some major browser or another? If I use a fixed, non 
repeating background image, it isn't displayed at all in non-css browsers, and in WebTV, 
it repeats all over the page, so I get black text on black regions of the graphic. Oh,
well. 
At least this site works for now... but I'll keep fiddlin' and researchin'

Thanks again, Jeff
