It is based on a tamplate which uses 4 main DIV tags. These are Header, Links, Main and Footer. The header, links and footer are vertically aligned and work fine. However, the links are contained in a div on the left using position: absolute. All looks great unless the main div has little content. In which case, the footer is high up on the page and overlaps the links div. Is there any way I can remedy this or do I need to add more content!! An example can be found at www.jgpropertymanagement.com/test.asp Many thanks in advance for any help John.

That's cheating. Actually, I'm not sure what that does to people with Lynx or Jaws. It may mean they think there's more stuff down the page and keep going with the line breaks until they get fed up. If your footer comes afterwards then they never get to it. Anyone know how the readers treat line breaks? _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is.
