My earlier outburst was due to stress brought on by browser wrangling.
Just when you think you have a handle on things, and your life in order, you wind up naked in times square, with tinfoil on your head, waiting for aliens to pick you up and whisk you to a land where browsers all render the same output, no matter what platform they’re on.
Thanks to Charles and Dan for pointing out my Mac deficiencies, and for the help with the screenshots, and taking the time to look at my test pages. In the current vernacular, I owe you guys mad props. You guys rock!
Turns out every other browser—maybe I should say every PC browser—maybe I should be specific and just say the PC versions of IE5.5, NS6.x and Opera 5.11—all displayed my layout as I intended. The Mac version of IE5 did not. For reasons, I’m not completely sure about yet. Now Opera is the only browser my layout blows up in. Why? I don’t know, and I don̻t wanna know. At least not at the moment. The scroller never worked in Opera anyway, so it was basically useless there. I᾿ll still be trying to optimize things, but I’m almost afraid to touch it at this point. Right now I feel like I’m in the internet of a thousand hells. I’ll explain more later.

"i don’t know and i don’t wanna know"
Isn’t that the ‘zen’ philosophy? =)
