Well, yes and no. It's not an "initial position" like giving "it start at this or that pixel". You just have to give it a relative left and top at 0px. But using that it works fine, doesn't it? And if you move the div somewhere else it still works fine - since the position is relative. What do you think about the layer-solution? Wouldn't this generally be a good idea since I believe layers are more well-implemented in all browsers than DOM-changes are? Taking Opera 6 as an example ... This way you could drop all dom-code ... or am I wrong?

OK i'm +1 on your > proposal. What do you mean? It basically needs the small addition like mentioned before. And afaik you can put it in a table or somewhere and the relative div still works. That's what I found out. Could you make your thoughts mentioned in the last paragraph a bit more clearer, please? > BTW, i've to see if this new implementation will work with the new > features i've in mind ! Hollidays was not really PHP free of mind. > Lot of ideas comes to me about HTML_Progress, and HTML_SetupWizard ... Hmm, have a look. Just thought layers are more straight-forward for being browser-independent than DOM is. Have a look and see how it fits. > I'll keep you aware soon. Would appreciate that. Stefan PS: Welcome home :-)
