Topic: Positioning quirk

I've just been playing around with a few basic layouts lately and I've run across an interesting quirk.
http://www.11oh1.net/test/journal.html

When I look at that layout in Firebird the "krets.journal" at the top rests right on top of the dark red divider with the tip of the "j" dipping down into the red area. That's what I want.

In IE 6.0 however, the "krets.journal" is about 5 pixels above the red line. I've only tested in so far in those two browsers so I can really speak as to how it would look in others.

I've tried several things so far like setting the line-height to zero and adjust padding, margins, etc but I haven't had any luck.

Any help with this little quandry would be appreciated.

The stylesheet is here:

try this:

#topper {

	position: relative;

	background: #414754 /*url(topk.gif) no-repeat scroll bottom right */;

	color: #fff;

	border-top: 1px solid #616B7E;

	border-left: 1px solid #616B7E;

	border-right: 1px solid #2d3239;

	width: auto;

	height: 70px;

	z-index: 3;

	}



#title {

	position:relative;

	background-color: transparent;

	color: #4D5662;

	font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;

	font-size: 26px;

	letter-spacing: 30px;

	margin-top: 45px;

	margin-left: 5px;

	margin-bottom: -20px;

	z-idex: 1;

	}

See where I had to add the position: relative and then set the z-index? Then down at the bottom the #title, I set the margin-bottom to -20px.
It worked for me. Give it a try.

It worked even without the z-index. I found that out since you spelled z-index as z-idex and I didn't notice it right away either.

Dern browsers.

Thanks man.
