[thelist] Win NN6 and css-p

[Means, Eric D]

It seems Mozilla (Netscape 6) doesn't like the combination of an absolute
position and a position keyword.  If you change the background-position to
"130px 130px" it works correctly, and if you change it to "right top" it
works correctly, but the combination fails.  This is, surprisingly enough,
correct behavior according to at least the first guide I checked:
http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/css/color-background/background-position.h
tml

"Combinations of lengths and percentages are allowed, as are negative
positions. For example, 10% -2cm is permitted. However, percentages and
lengths cannot be combined with keywords."

background-position: 100% 130px;
will work for what you want.

I'm using a layout from http://www.bluerobot.com which I've altered to have
2 header divs. In these divs sit the first 2 slices (see far below). The
trouble is NN6.2 isn't positioning the next image where I want it. here is
the troubled rule:

body {
background-position: right 130px;
}

My css programmers reference a la Meyer says WIN NN6 should handle this
position properly but it doesn't. My suspicion is I've written the rule
wrong but my experimenting reveals nothing so far. Any ideas?
