...and here's some text that serves no other purpose than to fill this space.
The amount of text doesn't matter, since this is a self-adjusting construction.

#test div { background: #ddd; border: solid 1px #fff; } /* the first construction */ #independent1 { margin: 0 -10px 50px 10px; width: 60%; } #independent1 div { margin: 10px -10px -10px 10px; width: 100%;} /* ...and seven more... */ /* the usual IE hacks */ * html div#test div { position: relative; } /* dark test-container */ #test { overflow-x: hidden; }
These 8 constructions are in the flow (not floated or positioned), and are controlled by their width and/or margins. Quite ordinary constructions, with the necessary styling to work quite well across most of browser-land.
Internet Explorer 6 fails on all tests initially. However, thanks to the usual hacks – and a heavy dose of negative margins at the right places, it apparently handles all constructions reasonably well.
Internet Explorer 6 is also disturbed by its faulty 'width:' calculation and the auto-expanding bug, hence the 'overflow-x: hidden' on test-container. What a bugger!
