Dear group,
I made a 3 column design, centered in the middle, and #1 overlaps #2. To
start, it was so much a hell to get this combination (3 columns, centering
and stacking) right in IE + FF + OP + NN that I sold my soul to the devil
and used 1 table to define the 3 columns. BUT: Still have a problem with
Opera: It won't let me stack #1 partly on #2, it goes underneath it all the
time.

I've searched for known Opera bugs regarding this, but didn't find any. Can
anyone tell me how to correct my code, or confirm some kind of Opera bug?

Browsers used: IE6(xp_sp2) + FF1.0PR + NN7.2 + OP7.54

Thanx in advance!

You can't use relative positioning to get content to display outside its
original table cell in Opera 7. Only with absolute positioning this would
be possible, undoubtable causing other problems :)

Maybe you shouldn't use the table after all...

Thanx for the info Rijk, and looking at your email address I guess you
really are the one to know this ;-)

However, in earlier versions of the design I didn't use a table and I still
didn't get it done to let div#1 overlap div#2. Could this possibly also be
an "unfeatured feature" (or bug ;-) by Opera or is it my code to blame?

Thanx!

I'd have to see that code. Z-index is supported by Opera.

Unfortunately I nuked my 'in progress' files, thanks for the offer however!
But I'll keep it in mind for the next time.
