I made my point about the "deep structure" of the sentence and stick by it - indeed, it's proven by the fact that myself and another forum member both "misinterpreted" the phrase in the same way.

Congratulations on proving me wrong - my self-esteem just died, thanks.

You can see CSS positioning at work on the csszengarden site: http:www.csszengarden.com - basically, the site uses the same "markup" (what you call html) and loads different stylesheets to change the ENTIRE look AND structure of the site. I would honestly not waste as much time as I have in this thread did I not believe what I was saying.
I would be very interested in looking at this, and am taking the time to look at it now, because as far as my years of working with CSS and HTML have proven, i have never been able to successfully reposition DIV elements which are at the top and bottom of the unformatted HTML without having to change the actual HTML.

By the way, there's no need to bother arguing back - i'm most likely wrong; i always am. It would be nice to be able to win an argument, but life isn't going to let that happen anytime soon.
