I proxy-posted this question for a colleague. He claims to have found a way to accomplish what he wants, but I think he said his method is restricted to IE4. I asked for an example, but he said he can't provide it until Monday. I'll post again then.
BTW, are you smiling because this is an easy 200 points, RoadWarrior? :-)

*smiling*
No, not because it is that easy, just that technology has a habit of catching up on us all, so what is right now isn't right in a short while *smile*
*grin* I worry about things like this don't want to be caught out like the 19th Century scientist who said something like "travel at more than 30mph in a railway carriage will be lethal because all the air will get pushed out" *grin*
anyway, yes i wouls suspect if the is a rare and secretive feature, it would show up in IE, because Microsoft can co-ordinate their browser and other products that much better
*smile* so hope something comes of that for you, nothing worse than needing a feature that isn't there.

If you look in USENET you will see that this is probably the most asked question and always get a NO response. There are supposedly some CSS extensions which allow this but we have bot found them to work. You can however, achieve what you want by some careful use of tables and ling thin transparent images. You need to use different methods for MSIE and NN but with care and testing you can achieve what you want. One browser 'tries' to keep the image on one page and a the other 'tries' to keep the table on one page. I do not remember which is which and when we create our pages we just use both techniques and then test with both browsers,
Sorry,
