Comments on Faux Absolute Positioning
by Eric Sol
125 Reader CommentsBack to the Article
It's been a while since I've seen any new CSS concepts, but this fills the spot perfectly. Thank you. With complex layouts I always end up with what seems like unnecessarily complex CSS, so an additional way of positioning is welcome indeed. Now I just need to clear some time of my schedule to try it out for myself.
This was a good article and I applaud you at your solution, however.
It seems very much like BluePrintcss which is based on the a grid layout also. It's also well documented and tested through out the community.
Very intriguing. With every good (and pretty simple) ideea, the first though that arises is: "hmmm, how come i didn't though of this earlier myself?"
This really seems to solve some complex layouting problems more easily.
Thanks for the tip
@Stephen Hill
The thing is that Blueprint doesn't solve the issues that are highlighted here
Great article Eric! Thanks for sharing your experience with us. I'm already using it and I love it.
Fresh…and clean! This was a great article—very informative.
Very interesting find you and your team did. The technique sounds very promising, and I will definately do some testing. From your article I get the impression that this solves the most annoying problems with the "two other techniques", and while not being a perfect solution, it works - as long as you are aware of the downsides.
Good job :)
Great article, seems to be an effective and simple idea. I'll try it out as soon as possible.
My partner pointed me to your article, and I was just starting to cleaning my messy CSS job for an Joomla site. Well right now I'm thinking of rebuilding the main structure in this way to get all the advantages. I'm not thinking anymore, I'm going to do it if I come across problems of any kind I will let you know.
Greetings, keep up the good work!
Always good to have another technique in the arsenal. Thanks.
It sounds amazing!
We are always fighting with positioning and made it fully funtional with all browsers. Always had to use tricks, but this way sounds like a smart solution.
I will try with a new design…
It seems that this technique possibly could merge some techniques without the cons.
Will it be the Holy Grail 2.0???
I always enjoy reading about new CSS techniques on ALA and I appreciate the robustness of this solution.
However, I don't like the markup. In my opinion, it suffers quite severely from divitis. 3 div's for a header? No thank you. With lots of nested elements and a bit of CSS and browser knowledge, CSS will always get you there. The trick is to do it with as little unnecessary markup as possible.
It's looking rock solid. Great!
Using the second example, I swapped item 6 and item 8 so the written content came nearer the beginning of the html order. It works, it looks exactly the same without having to change the CSS.
Now, can I move line 2 above line 1…
You mentioned having implemented this technique into a Drupal theme. Is that theme available somewhere? I'd love to have a look as I'm currently designing a Drupal-based site with header/footer/3 columns in between.
Thanks for the article.
In answer to my own question in #14, yes! Just using position:absolute, width 80% to match the canvas width and margin: 0 auto on line2, with margin-top: 20em on line1 does the trick. So it seems the technique can be mixed and matched, making it very useful indeed :) Well done, Eric!
Interesting read, Eric. Thanks.
I've not tested this yet, but here's my thumbs up to you (pl.) just for having had that idea.
I don't think this will be viable for my work though, as like #13 said, minimum markup is king. ;)
I'd started a redesign of my companies website last week, and had been working with a design where I had two horizontal bars on top, a vertical left hand bar and then a grid of 4 blocks in the main content area, and was running into all of the troubles mentioned. So I get into work today and see this article posted in my RSS feed and was blown away. Needless to say, I adapted this idea to my project and in less than 2 hours, it has taken care of all the problems which I'd been having getting the layout to work.
As you say Eric, this method is made for designs which are already div heavy, but it's very flexible. Yeah, you have 3 divs for a header, but if you want to toss a search box, or other content up next to the header, then it's very easily adaptable to handle that situation.
Thanks for you guys' work, and impeccable timing!
I'm always experimenting with various layout techniques but this one is pure gold. With this I can achieve fluid or em widths with a max-width (what I prefer) with ease.
I also work with Drupal and might have to do something with this. :) Sprinkle in a bit of the theme settings api for user end control.
Oh, and this could be the missing technique that frees BluePrint from pixel width layouts. I'll have to experiment and combine the ideas.
Thanks again. I've been looking for a solution like this for a looong time.
Negative margin used this way is a hack in itself, although not a browser specific. Positioning is not what the margin is supposed to do.
This is something I will store in my arsenal for specific situations, but it is definitely not a best practice when it comes to layouts.
Anyway, It is a good way to get around a whole lot of IE6 bugs.
I want to have a navigation column on the left that spans the lines of content in the middle and right columns. How can I achieve this using your technique?
Since "canvas" is an id I guess there can only be one per page. Can I embed "line" divs within "sap-content" divs?
Thanks for sharing your invention.
That's what Eric meant when he said it was possible to nest faux absolute positioning recursively. The "canvas" id is not special, you can use any other name you want or even use a class you apply to items that should act as a canvas.
Yeah, you can.
The site I'm working on is now using this layout:
line: (item, item)
line: (item)
line: {item, item: [line: (item, item)], [line: (item, item)]}
line: (item)
1. I think that absolute positioning is seldom used amongst serious developers, floats are the norm
2. The author's critique of float layouts is narrow and dead wrong
3. I've been coding PSDs, including some exotic ones, and I've never had a problem I couldn't solve with normal techniques.
But the hacker in me loves that someone has come up with a solution to the problem of having absolute positioning that affects layout. I don't know how many designs will benefit from the technique though. One nice thing is that it pushes the pixel-perfect absolute-positioning OCD people (never encountered one, or their code, but you know they're out there!) towards normal layouts.
I am the new web designer for my city's newspaper (not one of the major cities, but enough to need an in house web designer); only 4 weeks on the job. I needed to make an IE 6 fix for a page. Instead, I noticed the page had the basic elements that could utilize this technique.
So I rearranged the code and applied this method. It worked perfectly. It even made the CSS in the original cleaner and simpler.
i played with the 2. example and below "min-width" the content is not accessible, because the horizontal scollbar is not visible
For those complaining that this is a case of Divitis, I don't think it is. Divitis is a result of using DIVs for elements that could use a more appropriate tag, such has H1, UL, etc… I've worked with templates that used DIVs for headings and other templates that used lots of nested DIVs with H tags for headings. The latter is perfectly fine and doesn't interfere with your CSS work.
The article explains why each DIV is necessary for this technique to work, there's nothing semantically incorrect here and no harm is done. It's similar to many of the techniques that allow for rounded corners, it's something you have to do for a particular method to work.
I'm on xp in IE 7 and about halfway down the page column gets and stays narrow - about 2/3 of the width its supposed to be. If you hover a link in a paragraph with your cursor then IE will redraw the paragraph to it's correct width.
@Michael Lange (and author of course)
I tried huge negative margins while searching for what I could call 'float:center'. You have three elements, all floating and you want them to be centered in the screen. Also on small screens you want the floats to wrap.
Since float only knows left and right you have no way of doing this without a fixed content width. I made it fixed now, and the wrapping element for small screens is lost.
When experimenting with a big negative margin, which I though back then might solve the trick (wild guess) I noticed my horizontal scrollbar disappeared, and that made me stear away from any negative margin that extends beyond the canvas.
If it's solvable I may use it again, otherwise, I stick to hacks, and the incidental float drop (usually caused by someone inserting a big unbreakable link).
Yes, Ward, it happens in both IE7 & IE6—I didn't notice at first because I'm usually browsing with Firefox.
Eric, what do you intend "sap" to stand for, in e.g. "sap-content"? My brain keeps coming up with things like "somewhat absolute positioning" or "stand alone positioning" or "single apple positron", and they don't seem quite right ...
The article was great, and I applaud all the work you put into it - I'm happy to seen an alternative to the "other two" options.
But the fact that you to had to go through this trouble to get a decent layout is sad. It really highlights how inadequate CSS is. No, I don't want to use tables. I want to see both the CSS standard and browser support improved!
I'm having some issues with this. I have 3 columns, but rather than the content float to the right of each other, they are appearing on separate rows.
It's been a while since a piece of coding has me this excited. I had previously been using the float technique and fiddling with margins to get everything to sit right. I'm a big fan of grid layouts so this technique is perfect for a lot of my projects and will save me endless amount of hours…
Great article and technique,
I will like to find a simple alternative for the example 2. I'm looking for a distributed columns version, "like this":http://octavez.com/alistapart/css_distribute_columns.gif .
I think the better solution to distribute columns is to use a padding-left on all columns and remove on the first, like that:
.column {padding-left:20px}
.column:first-child {padding-left:0;)
I prefer to use :first-child rather than :last-child because it's more compatible.
Great article.
This is a great technique and I will definitely be using it in future. I'm not sure it's completely new though. Haven't negative margins and relative positioning been "used before":http://www.bluerobot.com/web/css/center2.html ?
And of course the columns are still _faux columns_. A better solution would be to use display:table-row and display:table-cell but of course that doesn't work in any of the main browsers.
I've done a lot of playing around with this and found it surprisingly reliable and easy to implement into an existing site. I love the fact that the order of the items in a line has no significance, so you can put the content in front of the sidebars without repercussions.
The CSS is minimal and easy to remember, although it doesn't make any sense to me, but that's not the point. :) I'm going to try implementing this into our own Drupal theme.
Thanks Eric and Co.
I just wanted to drop some kudos for this technique. It happens to apply to exactly what I was struggling with this morning. Thanks!
Running FX 2.0 on Windows Vista, and i ran into a content problem. On window resize, the content keeps it's place, does not move along with it's container. A refresh solves the problem. IE6, IE7, IE8, Opera 9.5 And Safari for Win work just fine as i tested.
It is a nice solution, but sounds kind of "hacky" to me. Usually i use the float technique, which seems to be a little more stable than this one. Never got in any trouble. I'll definetly study this one and maybe use it if the need appears, but i won't replace my old technique until i am familiar with all the drawbacks of this one.
Thanks a lot for the beautiful article.
To describe even better the problem: 3 columns, left:30%, right: 20%. Content stays in place on window resize. Now, this only affects this type of layout. If instead i have px defined widths for the left and right, all works just fine.
Thanks for letting us know. All fixed now.
Funny story. A carriage return in the code examples caused IE6 and IE7 to furiously self-mutilate. There was nothing wrong with the carriage return, of course. But IE6 and IE7 have, shall we say, a bizarre relationship with whitespace in HTML.
This looks really neat. I'm excited to see how well it will work in Outlook '07.
For more information, see "this article":http://www.campaignmonitor.com/blog/archives/2007/01/microsoft_takes_email_design_b.html
Example 1 is not loading for me currently.
No problem at all. I'll try to investigate this as soon as i have some spare time. I gotta earn money too. As for the hacky thing, it's between brackets. I was not expressing a point of view based on the current css specs but rather a personal point of view. Either way, as i said, great article snd promising technique. Hopefully Those minor problems will be solved.
Hi, you say that "you cannot calculate the margin-left because you never know how many ems fit in 800 pixels" but there is an easy way around this. If you make the font size of the body 62.5% then 1em=10px. This makes it easy to make such calculations. Clearly, this is best done at the start of a site design, as it will affect all of the font sizes in the site! But, it is a good part of varnish-stripping and a useful technique to use anyway.
It's a nice article.
thank's to you and your team.
it is okay if i changed, margin-left: -100%, become margin-left: -800px ? (assumed that my .line width : 800px)
Milburn Thomas wrote in comment 42: _"And of course the columns are still faux columns. A better solution would be to use display:table-row and display:table-cell but of course that doesn't work in any of the main browsers."_
Even better would be CSS Columns supported in all browsers. Then we wouldn't need any complex layout techniques at all.
The main advantage it seems to me for this technique is the use of overflow:hidden, but using overflow:hidden on floated elements would make them behave like absolutely positioned elements. Is there something I am missing?
I noticed that if you add a min-width rule ( desired min-width + widths of left and right columns ) to the content div it keeps the center content from being completely collapsed when the browser window gets small…
I tried both examples in IE6. In the first case, when the width of browser is reduced, the middle column disappears. In teh second example, on reducing width, some text in the middle column is lost.
I am looking for an elastic 2/3 column layout with header/footer that does not collapse when height/width is minimised…
It's always a bit of a bear to stare a complex grid-based layout in the face (read: anything elastic or fluid). This looks like it will take the bite out of grid-based layouts. Thanks!
I admire the ingenuity of this scheme. Stepping back though, I wonder if folks have an opinion as to whether this line/item scheme is superior to tr/td. From a semantic standpoint I'd say "no, they are equivalent"?. Does this give us some great gain in layout ease or flexibility versus tables?
Well, given MS Word's poor handling of positioning and float, it's no surprise that this technique is completely mutilated by Outlook '07. It might look better in Outlook '03 or '00, though, since those versions use the IE rendering engine….
Sadly, it's back to tables for us email designers ):
Interesting approach. The toolkit is never full. I like.
However - and I hope I'm not committing a faux pas here - the title seems a bit pretentious and, worse, misleading. Faux means "fake" does it not? Nothing fake here. And the author isn't even French.
Take your pick:
Simulated Absolute Positioning
Imitation Absolute Positioning
Artificial Absolute Positioning
But if we must go European, how about the old chestnut:
Ersatz Absolute Positioning
Sorry, I couldn't help myself. Good article.
Er… it's broken in *outlook*? When did it become a good idea to put CSS positioning (let alone other CSS) into HTML email?
@comment 65:
Faking full columns have been known as Faux Columns for "quite some time":http://www.alistapart.com/articles/fauxcolumns/. Seems like ALA sometimes choose "funny":http://www.alistapart.com/articles/flashsatay "names":http://www.alistapart.com/articles/semanticflash for the articles. I don't mind.
I think I am going to ditch Blueprint for this method. It looks more simple and semantic. Great job!
Drupal can't to connect to database, looks like something broken.
Great discovery Eric! Thank you for sharing it!
I will surely test it and tell you if there's something wrong in a specific case…
One question: you put display: block; on .line, why?
To use the same class again somewhere on other non-block elements or what?
Because <div> is block by default. I removed it and couldn't find any difference in FF, IE6 + 7, and Safari/win.
I'm eager too know why you put it for.
Is display: block necessary on <div class="line"> since that is already a block-level element?
I work at an internet development company and i had the very problem this article talks about. I did not want to use tables to create the layout of the main part of the page. After i read this article i immediately applied the concept and it took care of any problems i had and imitates the old table look exactly and after all this is the result i wanted.
Following the same concept, I had no problem getting this to work with fixed pixel width columns. Tests across FF2, FF3, IE7, IE6, Opera and Safari. If this continues to hold up through various testing, this will be great, as there's no more footer clearing issues.
@"Peter Labrow":"http://alistapart.com/comments/fauxabsolutepositioning?page=6#53" :
bq. If you make the font size of the body 62.5% then 1em=10px
This is only true if the user's default font size is 16px. Yes, it's going to work most of the time, but you can't count on it. Even adjusting the font size while on the page (e.g., Command-+) will affect how many pixels correspond to 1em.
It's generally safest not to mix relative units (em, ex, percent) with absolute units (px, pt).
Thank you for this article, but I would still recommend, above this technique, the table.
Now, before you assume that I must be a (1) newbie or (2) Philistine, know that I am a (1) professional web programmer and (2) lover of theory over practicality (to see that, read "this":http://combatentropy.com/coming_back_to_the_table )
In my experience tables have caused more pain than DIVs due to the restraints in layout changes and numerous white space issues. But maybe it's just me. :)
Thanks for the great technique. I've just successfully implemented it on "my blog":http://mark.tranchant.co.uk after painfully figuring out that:
* "Movable Type":http://www.movabletype.com already uses the .item class, so I needed to change the name;
* Mis-spelling the replacement item class name on one of the items causes horrific, confusing errors.
I'm looking forward to the next time I need to make a complex form, so I can try using it there.
It's nearly impossible to ask Designers to design within a grid. As I'd love to use Blueprint CSS, it doesn't always work very well when the Designs I slice and code are 900px wide with random layouts. Not to mention they require fixed font sizes, complex gradients and stuff you wonder… why not just Flash?
Frankly, tables never work as well as they theoretically could. They don't make anything "faster" and usually create a lot of bloat. I do use tables for… tabular data. That makes perfect sense. But not for containing layout.
Also, I checked all the examples from the article on the iPhone, and looks good! Something to consider using. However, I'm usually looking for the fastest way to do something best. If I could only convince more Designers to use a grid…
"The content of the boxes may overlap (depending on other variables such as overflow: hidden) but that's all—and in our view, it's better to risk overlap than risk breaking the whole layout."
I think it's better if the layout breaks, but the content is still visible. For example, if a user zooms text due to issues with impaired sight then overflow:hidden will chop the content. Otherwise it's style over substance.
@Mark Tranchant - Your're page is not rendering the HTML properly (as in I can see only the HTML).
Always been slightly concerned about using overflow:auto though in case of any scrollbars appearing randomly. I couldn't spot any with this technique though so very promising :)
I use position relative and negative margins in a very similar way to structure my "perfect liquid layouts":http://matthewjamestaylor.com/blog/perfect-3-column.htm
I tried it and it works flawlessly. This already saved me from a lot of bugfixing especially in IE6. I can also say that in many cases it takes less time to change a simple existing float to fauxabsolutepositioning, than to look for a way to solve some IE bugs. Thanks again.
I have posted a (detailed and respectful) argument against this technique to my website, CSSnewbie. I would invite everyone to read it and respond in the comments if you're interested in continuing the debate:
How about a cell that spans several rows?
I've been looking for information about this for some time… Thanks :D
I used your technique along with a slantastic :) layout created by Eric Meyer. I had to use your technique because of the way the slantastic layout was created if you get a chance I would love to hear your response. Thank you.
P.S. While some people are trying to call your new technique not worthwhile im almost positive they did not understand the reason you created it. It wasnt necessarily for people who already knew everything they needed to know but for those individuals who needed a solution to a common problem with both of these positioning techniques. Thank you.
That is where to find the layout and i would love to hear your response. Thank you.
@Mark: You can't do that directly, but you can play with the height and top of elements or you can use nesting (creating an item that itself acts as a canvas to contain two or more rows) to achieve the same effect. It would take some puzzling, but it's definitely doable.
Hoi Eric!
Very interesting, and nice way of thinking. I`d really like to see some sites built using this method.. to see if we can break them! :)
Good work fella.
Has anyone tried this to see how it behaves on various Mobile Devices? Would be interesting…
I used sap and all looks great except in IE6. When the page loads, the left column appears on the far right UNTIL you mouse over a link. Then it jumps over to the left where it is supposed to appear. http://ninja-dev.photonicsg2.net/sap.php Any ideas??
I decided to make the site im working on, which is my personal site it isn't much but its still getting settled, available and looking decent in ie 6. I used this technique just because i didnt feel like changing all the markup just the minor parts of the css. It worked great in the site i was working on. If anyone wants to get in touch with me i have a working form on the site.
Have to try it out next time I'm doing a layout from scratch.
While using this technique the past week I couldn't help to think I had a case of divitis. Seems like quit a bit of presentational mark-up is needed in order to get the end result.
However, that aside I applaud your discovery.
<table class= "canavas">
<tr class="line">
<td class="item"></td>
<td class="item"></td>
<td class="item"></td>
This is what it was made for.. to simulate a grid layout without using tables. Todd, divitis is when you are using divs for everything.. a prime example is navigation containing solely divs. The presentational markup is not existent. He is using a div basically for each 'cell' to create the effect. What you are also pointing out was pointed out in a prior post. I think Eric wanted to do what he could while using standards based code. Tables are for tabular data.
I've been designing hardware and software for thirty years now. I think I have a track record of dealing with complexity. I've tried on and off to use CSS and succeeded as long as I keep it real, real simple.
I've been trying to implement a simple version of this technique for the past two hours. I've read the article several times, top to bottom. The example in the text shows only one item so it does not match the diagram which has three items. When I look at example one it is so full of other classes, IDs and HTML markup for forms that I have not been unable to separate the wheat from the chaff.
I wish the author had presented a grid with one line containing one item and a second line with two items and then a third line with three items. Then I think I could perhaps have been able to reverse engineer how the margin percentages interact and other parameters interact and then be able to extrapolate how to modify them for my own use.
Sorry to carp so much. This article was intended to present a technique for those already skilled with CSS. I think I'll just go back to using tables to line things up the way I want them. It may not be semantic but at least it works for me.
Great Article - I just recoded a site with which I had some problems. Unfortunately (for me) text is not visible in DWCS3 or DWCS4 beta Design View. I validated my CSS and HTML at W3C and all validated. We use DWCS3 to quickly paste text to templates so functionality in DW is important.
It appears that DW does not like the negative margins as it appears that the content is off to the left of the design view window. I can get it back if I temporarily modify the style sheet or the html but that's not really helpful.
If anybody has any suggesions I'd appreciate seeing them.
Divitis is indeed the first impression users seem to get when trying this… but if you use the principles and adapt the code a little, its a very easy, very adaptable system.
For eg, you dont need to put
<div id="listholder" class="item>
You can style the ul directly, thus removing the container :
<ul id="listholder" class="item">
any divitis there? Nope.
We`ve used this at work, and everyday we find something new and impressive with the way it stands up to moulding and shaping of the code.
Good work fella!
Robert, i can help explain the principle if you want. I can see how it can be confusing to get your head around, but once you've got it, it really is very useful.
I tried to find an email address through your website, but couldnt. Let me know if you need a hand.

Pretty big help in positioning techniques. This guy knows his stuff! Keep it up!
There is a bug at IE6… when you place a background image in the middle rightest column, the column disappear.
I love this technique, although I know there are some arguments against it (google faux positioning). In fact I love it so much that the new base theme for Drupal I'm making is based on this technique and it works great! In the first website I did with this base theme I'm having a problem, when I added a table of contents that uses same pahe links, whenever I clicked on a section all of the content in the main div that came before it, dissappeared. If I give overflow:scoll just to the main div, I get a scrollbar in the div and I can see the content scrolling up. This is pretty much a deal braker for that particular theme I'm building because I really need table of contents because of the amount of content the pages in the site has. Is there any way to be able to use this technique with table of contents?
I can confirm that Rafael is correct with the fact that in IE6 a background image on one of the main 'columns' (item) will throw off the layout completely. Mousing over a link snaps the columns back to where they should be, but obviously that's no solution.
For now the best solution I can find is to put the background image on an element within the column/item instead.
Strangely, using a background _colour_ doesn't cause the same glitch.
Nice article and interesting technique! Just one minor typo:
bq. t lets us play with @position: overflow@ (without breaking the grid!).
My first impulse is always to doubt myself, but I'm sure that's not a legitimate value for this property! :)
Thanks Buddy! this would definitely help us to fix the positioning problems.
from the examples: scales poorly past a certain point. or was this just in the examples?
I have used this to redo the css for a site that went live earlier this year,
My only problem is I cannot work out how to stop the menu in the left hand column from being displayed. Ive tried
#sidebar-left.item column, #ddblueblockmenu
display: none;
and various combinations but it still gets printed . Any ideas
Ignore above having bad day and using wrong folder for style sheet access.
This is awesome! I just starting fooling around with it and I can already see how efficient this is. Thanks for the article!!!
I really just wanted to make a simple personal site. But the complexity of doing just the simplest of things have such a myriad of choices that I just want to throw my hands up in the air and scream. I thought CSS was to be a universal solution that would enable once and for all the ability for everyone to be on the same level playing surface. But as it turns out, for every solution there is 10 opinions that state the opposite or the same but different approach. I see why even though FrontPage was so hated by so many, that it really made things simple. That is, until we went to Expression versions. I guess at least everyone is in the same but different bucket of confusion. Ultimately, I guess my question is: have we really come that far? Just seems like everyone is just arguing a new subject, but in reality it just the same old stuff - no one agrees on anything. Why has CSS made everything so complex? When its original intent was to simplify. Maybe we should all start from scratch again!
There will be a problem when I add a background-image to that DIV in IE 6. All DIVs that contain a bckground-image will be kept in the right and not in the correct position.
Do you have any method to solve this bug?
Thank you for publishing this great tip!! I've been trying to implement tableless CSS design and this makes it so much easier. Keep the great tips coming!
Thanks for sharing this concept. It is very interesting for me as I used to spent hours fixing some broken css layouts in IE 5 & 6. I will try this layout technic in one of my next projects.
This is a phenomenal technique, but I've run into an issue that a few others have mentioned. To reproduce this error, use a background-image on an element with class-name "item" and see how IE6 reacts.
It appears that this is a "Peek-a-boo bug":http://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer/peekaboo.html - the element is invisible when you load/reload the page, but suddenly reappears when you resize the browser window.
I tried to use the "clearfix":http://www.positioniseverything.net/easyclearing.html approach to no avail and ended up refactoring my layout to make use of the sap-content element for background images.
Hopefully this extra info will help someone smarter than myself to find a more robust solution.
I've been building websites for years and consider myself pretty nifty with CSS, but a method like this just never occurred to me! It looks robust and pretty straight forward and I'll deffinitely give it a try next time I need to do a reasonably complex layout. Cheers guys!
Thanks Dude! It would definitely help us. Thanks a lot :D
Hello, I try this layout trick and i found problem with combination "overflow:hidden" and scroll to id inside page from url hash. You can see it on example from this article.
With url hash: "http://fapdemo.solide-ict.nl/home#edit-submit":http://fapdemo.solide-ict.nl/home#edit-submit
Without url hash: "http://fapdemo.solide-ict.nl/home":http://fapdemo.solide-ict.nl/home
Have you somebody any idea?
Ps: I'm sorry for my bad english ;-)
That's an awesome job at problem solving…I've wondered how to do something similar to this for awhile, because I hate using tables for layouts because they're slow-loading, and with divs I felt like I was stuck into only creating 2 column-layouts for fear of creating broken layouts if the elements end up growing too much or the padding/margins aren't quite the same for every browser. Good solution.
I'm very intrigued by this approach, and so far testing it against various browsers has worked fine… except for one IE6 (?) glitch: when using a two-column layout with Faux Absolute Positioning, and IE6 is running on a Virtual PC, the left column frequently (but not always) gets displayed to the far right. For more info see: "Anyone seen image positioning problems with IE6 running on a Virtual PC?" on MSDN IE Web Dev forum…
My IE6 layout problem had already been reported (although apparently not yet completely resolved). I must have accidentally jumped past those posts…
But knowing that it's aggravated when running under VPC may shed some light on how someone (smarter than me) might come up with the best work-around.
Nice article, and nice techniques. I haven't sen this approach before, and I will try it out.
I've been wondering similar things when it comes to multi-column layouts, and I have an idea that I've been using that I'd lke to run past you, or anyone else.
I've been using <span> elements with the CSS display: inline-block. In combination with the vertical-align: top; property, I can achieve something very much like two or three table cells sitting next to eachother in a row, since they are sitting on the same text baseline (inline) but can take width properties (block). It's a nice combination of the two.
The problem is, if you stick a DIV inside of these spans, the layout will not validate. Since Spans are default inline, is it not allowed to insert a block-level div inside of them. The reason why I use Spans in the first place is that as early as v5, inline-block is supported in IE only on elements that are by default inline. So, spans, anchors, img tags, etc… can be inline-block, but DIVs can not.
So, the question is, while this is a powerful layout tool, is it off limits since it technically is not allowed? Will the inline-block property eventually go the way of the dodo and cease to be supported?
Very useful article. I´ll tell my friends in the office about it. Thanks alot. Markus
Hi Eric!
I have stumbled upon this technique while looking for a solution to my problem. I am still not sure if/how I can use it. I think you may have had the same issue. The users have a "screen designer" for a form layout. I need to replicate that in the browser. Now it's done with absolute positioning, and the problem is that the footer, which comes right after the form's content, now gets placed to the top because of absolutely positioned elements in the form that don't provide the form with a height. Can I move the footer in it's place by still positioning the elements inside the form in the same positions the user did? If so, how. I seem to not getting exactly the point.

Reports roll in on hunting seasons
I have gotten so many reports — mostly good — this week that I might not be able to cover them all. There are a couple of hunting seasons now open and another coming along soon. Fishing has been good in some places and excellent in others. There has also been some news concerning the drought's effect on wildlife.
It is the time of year to finalize your hunting places and dates and to sight in rifles. Hey, folks, it is the early fall in Southeast Texas and things are beginning to happen, so it's time to get ready.
If you read this column in The Examiner last week, you'll remember the flounder catching. Well, it is still going on, if you want to try your skills in the marshy channels with moving water. They are still striking both live bait and fakes. Be sure to try a small piece of fresh shrimp on your jig's hook.
Speckled trout and redfish seem to be all across the lakes and bays. Certainly everyone who heads out will not score big, but most folks should have little trouble locating some fish. There are some large flocks of seagulls feeding over both speckled trout and redfish. Many of the specks are not Texas legal, but they are mostly legal for boaters with Louisiana saltwater fishing licenses who have launched in Louisiana. In my opinion, those slightly undersize specks are the better table fare. Keep in mind that they must be a least 15 inches long to be legal in Texas waters.
There are also seemingly endless numbers of redfish in the inland waters. In fact, when they surface while feeding on shrimp or shad, the water seems to turn red. Fall redfish have a beautiful golden reddish color. Once located, anglers need only to cast a lure or natural bait into the feeding frenzy, reel in their slack line, and be immediately ready to do battle.
There are lots of speckled trout and redfish hanging out at the Sabine Jetty, the Cameron Jetty in Louisiana and also the Bolivar Jetty. Add to those hot spots the short rigs off both Sabine and Cameron, La., when it's smooth and clear, and anglers have a good choice of places to try.Should there not be feeding seagulls or surfacing feeding fish that are visible, then don't hesitate to go to the oil slicks. These shiny areas are created by the oily bodies of the shad that are being eaten and regurgitated by the specks. The odor of fresh mown grass or watermelon will alert you to a nearby slick even if you haven't yet seen it. Once you detect that odor then locate the slick and get ready for some fast action.There are some other fish that will also be present under the seagulls or under those slicks. Gaftopsail catfish will be what's there. These fish fight very hard when hooked, but there will be some slick slime a good ways up your line. This makes these fish highly undesirable for many anglers to even bring aboard their boat. Some folks do not feel that they are worth the trouble of cleaning up afterward. There is some truth to that except the last part. I have found that when handled correctly, the gaftopsails offer some fine cuisine.
Since they do have a protective slime that covers their body, gaftopsails should be left iced in a separate cooler. Whenever you get them to your cleaning area, allow them to stay outside the cooler until that slime dries and disappears. No, they will not spoil in a short time. Once that slime has dried and comes off, the fish will easily filet as do scaled fish.
For frying, make a light mustard and water wash. Put the filets into that mixture for a few minutes, drain, pat dry, meal and deep fry. It is even OK to put mustard directly on the fish, but wipe off the access before mealing and the fish will be perfect. I use this method on most saltwater fish.
While I'm on the subject of fishing, don't overlook the sand trout, sheepshead and the upcoming golden croaker run. The sandies are running larger this year and they are not yet considered game fish, and neither are the croaker. All of the above mentioned fish are plentiful, they are great on the table, and they have saved many fishing trips when other more sought after species were hard to come by. The youngsters especially enjoy catching them.
There has been considerable interest in the whitetail deer range conditions. The drought has created a lot of interest in the deer. What I have learned from several ranches in the Hill Country and some East Texas land managers is contrary to earlier reports from the experts. The areas are dry, but there is still some green forbs that the deer thrive on. The fawn surveys indicate that the die-off is about the same as in a normal rain year. That's the situation except on high fenced ranches where there is no supplement water available. There have been some significant losses in these enclosures. Free ranging deer seem to be finding enough water to survive. The deer are hitting the corn feeders big time right now.
Fishing note: there are huge numbers of bull redfish at the Sabine Jetty and in the surf. The bruisers are in.w

The Oral Arguments in Roman Pino v. Bank of New York will be heard before the Florida Supreme Court on Thursday, May 10, 2012 beginning at 9:00 AM. In this case the court will be addressing the circumstances under which a voluntary dismissal (a final judgment or other court action) can be set aside long after the case is over, based on underlying fraud on the court. FLTA and ALTA, represented by former Justice Ken Bell, have filed a joint Amicus brief in which we urge the court to protect innocent third party purchasers out of foreclosure from having their ownership rights overturned under such circumstances.
More background on this case and copies of the various briefs can be found here. The Oral Arguments can be watched live on http://www.wfsu.org/gavel2gavel/index.php.
While the certified question being addressed is narrow, the title industry was very concerned about the possibility of a sweeping ruling which might call into question the insurability of any REO property in light of widespread allegations of falsified documents and "robo-signing."
Our thanks again to Justice Bell for his excellent brief and to the insurers who have so generously funded our amicus participation in this case.
HB 517 Chapter 2012-61, Laws of Florida
HB 733 was part of the package sent to the Governor last week. He has until April 21 to act.
The first issue addressed in HB 733 is simply bringing the statutes into conformity with judicial interpretations. We have long known that Tenancy by the Entireties properties and properties held as Joint Tenants with Right of Survivorship passed automatically to the survivor upon death and were not subject to the constitutional prohibition on devise. Ostyn v. Olympic, 455 So.2d 1137 (Fla. 2d DCA 1984); see also Marger v. De Rosa, 57 So.3d 866 (Fla. 2d DCA 2011). The bill amends the current definition of "protected homestead" to expressly state that "real property owned in tenancy by the entireties or in joint tenancy with rights of survivorship is not protected homestead."
The bill also clarifies the timeframes for a surviving spouse, who would normally receive a life estate in homestead property to elect instead to receive an undivided one-half interest in the homestead as a tenant in common.
Subject to approval by voters in the affected areas, HB 800, Laws of Florida, ch. 2012-45 will change the boundary between St. Lucie County and Martin County such that a 129 acre enclave, including the subdivision of Beau Rivage off Northwest Britt Road will move from St. Lucie to Martin County.
If approved, this change will become effective July 1, 2013.
Please make certain that your searchers and examiners are aware of this upcoming change, as it will be necessary to search the affected properties in records of both counties.
The last time county boundaries were changed was 2007 when part of southern Palm Beach County was annexed into Broward County.

A Point Of Clarification
How this whole debate shakes out remains to be seen, whether the plan is an albatross or a savior, completely debatable, reasonable people have differing views. My own mental math supports the concept, policy wise and from a political perspective. The first test, and a daunting one, if you consider the pre-emptive strikes by the Conservatives and others to define, was for the Liberals to release their plan and simply keep their head above water. I don't think it much of a stretch to say the initial launch was largely successful, easily Dion's best moment to date as leader. Pleasantly surprised is how I would characterize the opening, a fair response from the media, some helpful allies, a positive tone, a sense of coherent strategy, contrasted with a seemingly unglued Harper and friends. I like what I've seen.
My primary reaction to the latest poll is just another positive sign, a complete rebuke of the Conservatives claims of "crazy" and "screwed". That doesn't translate to any sense whatsoever that the Liberals are well on their way to forming government, or even any claim that the plan will be understood and appreciated. What I think you can say, based on a sense of the initial launch, it has been anything but a bad week for Liberal fortunes. All you can hope for is opportunity, and I don't think it entirely biased to argue that this plan presents just that. Opportunities are what you make of it, and in this case, also how your opponents react, who's more effective.
The way I look at it, Liberals have finally launched, successfully discarded the booster rockets and now try to successfully navigate the proper path to see if we reach target.

What I find most interesting about the launch, is that regular people (not you and me, ;)
are aware of it.
My partner was playing golf last weekend and someone asked something about me and he mentioned my blogging. When he mentioned I was a Liberal, they immediately asked what I thought of the Green Shift.
These are not political guys. When my partner said that I liked the plan, all of them said they thought it was an interesting and good move.
They hadn't read the plan but were going by the coverage they had seen.
I'd say that if people who are not preoccupied with politics are speaking about the plan, the launch went pretty well.

"I'd say that if people who are not preoccupied with politics are speaking about the plan, the launch went pretty well."
I think the Tories have helped reach the "regular" people. They hear all this hubbub and wonder what it's all about. I can't remember where I read it, but someone made a good point, that Harper may want to rethink going so hard on this issue, because it isn't necessarily ground he's best suited to fight on.

A few columnists have made that point Steve, but I'm not sure how Harper could back down now.
He could try to fight it with facts, oops, no he couldn't. As I type I've no doubt he's got someone creating a graphic of precisely how the Green Shift will bankrupt the country, but he's tried that before and I'm not sure who would put their name to such a paper.
I think if he continues to be angry and irrational, your right, it helps the Lib's.
And I thought it was going to be a dull summer,:).

"As I type I've no doubt he's got someone creating a graphic of precisely how the Green Shift will bankrupt the country,"
Let's hope the Liberals are already developing the counter.
"And I thought it was going to be a dull summer,:)."
And I thought Dion would have trouble getting traction :)

Stephen Harper's over the top reaction to the Green Plan actually kept the announcement and The Plan on the front burner for a couple of days. In most cases announcements by the Leader of the Opposition disappears after one news cycle.
Stephen Harper forgot one of the rules of being PM. Do not validate your opponents ideas by giving them your attention.
Then again Stephen Harper has not really made the transition from Opposition Leader to Prime Minister anyhow, so it was a natural mistake.

"Do not validate your opponents ideas by giving them your attention"
It seemed more like an obsession, he actually created exceptional buzz before the announcement.

That is true but mostly that was done by an Oil Splat and his designated attack dogs. Routine stuff in politics.
However, when he first said the plan was "crazy" and the NEXT DAY said the plan would "screw everybody" he broke one of the big rules of being a PM.
He gave the announcement more publicity than it would otherwise have received by doing so. If Mr. Baird or any other spokesman would have commented the announcement would have faded before the weekend.
Perversely, his statements were enough to make people sit up and pay closer attention to the announcement and The Plan than it would likely have received otherwise.
As well, it gave Mr. Dion his opening to challenge Mr. Harper to a debate, which is tactically sound in the short run, provided Mr. Dion does not overplay it and continue making that challenge.

Short run for sure. I do like that they are waiting a few days for the letter, shows a coherent strategy.

Short run for sure. I do like that they are waiting a few days for the letter, shows a coherent strategy.
Let's not let it happen tomorrow for instance at around 11:00.
If it's been sent however, I would expect a Con release/response at about the same time.

Well that cabinet shuffle thing might take some attention away from all the Green Shift name debates going on.
If so, I guess Dion owes Harper!

Hawks trade 2nd & oak 5th, 6th & 7th for early/mid 2nd.
1) Lane Johnson RT
Probably the least sexy pick you could imagine..I like Johnson..a lot.. and I think Cable will too. He's only played the position one year (mold factor), but possesses everything you would want. I've always thought Giacomini was a G playing T. I think Giacomini could be a top 10 RG in this league. Johnson dominated Moore in their game earlier this year. He's only progressed and has shut down potential.
2) DeAndre Hopkins WR- This is so over-mentioned, but he reminds me so much of Roddy White...except I actually think he will be better. He's got better hands, and similar route running. Had to trade up to the early 2nd to nab him though. Most likely will be the most productive WR in the class when you look back in 15 years.
3) Datone Jones- DE/DT Finally some picks on D...I'm officially on the Datone Jones bandwagon..problem is I think he'll be gone in the early 3rd or late 2nd to a 3-4 team needing a 5 tech. Has played all 4 position on a line of a 4-3 D scheme. I like him for depth, and I like him for Jason Jones' old spot on passing downs.
4) Khaseem Greene OLB- Don't think Greene will make it that long, but hopefully. Former Saftey converted LB- it shows, he may be the most natural coverage LB in the draft, and we need that- and someone who can cover a lot of ground in space.
5) Nickell Robey N CB- Trufant & co got burned last year in the slot. Problem Solved.
7) Denard Robinson WR/ST- Terrible Senior bowl- I could see him sliding.

Hi, this is Dave Lavinsky, and in this letter, I'm going to tell you about the single biggest new development in raising money for your business since 1957.
I'm talking about a new way to raise money that anyone, anywhere can use to quickly and easily get the money you need for any type of business you want to start or grow.
But before I reveal what this incredible new money source is, and how you can easily tap it, I want you to know just how significant this really is...
You see, according to the SBA, the # 1 reason why entrepreneurs fail to launch and grow successful companies is "lack of funding".
I mean, if you don't have any money or funding, you can't even start your business in the first place.
And even if you do start it, if you have too little funding, chances are you'll go out of business!
But now, there is finally a new money source that was NEVER AVAILABLE BEFORE.
And I'm going to show you how to get it.
Now, you may be wondering what makes me qualified to say this new money source is the single biggest new development since 1957...
Well, I am the President of Growthink. For over a decade, Growthink has helped thousands of entrepreneurs like you raise money for their businesses.
And our clients have raised over $2,500,000,000.00
And that's why I have been interviewed by every major news source on all types of ways to raise money for businesses.
Now you may be wondering why I've referred back to 1957 in this presentation...
Well, in 1957, retired General Georges Doriot invested $70,000 in a startup named Digital Equipment Corporation...
Well that $70,000 turned into $355,000,000.
And when others found out about that, they too started investing and the "venture capital" industry was formed.
But raising money from venture capitalists is REALLY challenging and takes way too long...
Because there are too few venture capitalists, and there are too many entrepreneurs who need money.
Now, imagine a scenario where the tables were completely turned.
Where there were more investors than entrepreneurs.
Where investors lined up to fund you. and they came from all over the world.
And you didn't even have to give them a business plan. and the money was yours with no strings attached.
Well, this dream scenario has finally arrived. And that's why I'm so excited!
This is the biggest game changer to raising money in over 50 years!
So what is this amazing new funding source?
I's called..
So what is Crowdfunding?
Crowdfunding is funding or money that is given to entrepreneurs from friends, acquaintances, and the general Internet crowd who is interested in what they're doing.
Let me give you some examples of how it works...
Laura Boyd of South Carolina wanted to launch a photography company...
Specifically, she wanted to start by flying to Paris and creating a collection of photographs in HDR...
So, she posted her project on the crowdfunding platform RocketHub.com.
And within days was given $5,890 to start her company by 38 acquaintances and total strangers.
Or take Daniel Grippi, Maxwell Salzberg, Raphael Sofaer and IlyaZhitromirskiy the 4 NYU students who had the idea to create a new social network called Diaspora...
These students posted their request on crowdfunding platform Kickstarter.com.
And raised $200,642 from 6,470 folks. most of which they've never met but who found them and funded them online!
Now here is what is so absolutely incredibly cool about crowdfunding...
All you need to do is:
.and you can quickly raise all the money you need!
And if that's not cool enough, crowdfunding has another amazing benefit.
When you raise money from crowdfunding, you neither give up debt nor equity in your company...
That means that you don't have to pay back the money you get...
And you don't give up shares in your company.
This is because all the money is donated to you.
Could it get any better than this?
Now let me tell you how the donations work, because this is one of my favorite things about crowdfunding...
Now some folks will donate $10, $25, $50, $100 or more just because they like you or think that what you're doing is cool...
But in many cases, people will donate to you because you'll give themrewardsfor their donations...
Let me give you some examples.
Sight Unseen, an online magazine about creativity, raised $3,895 from 52 backers.
For donations of $200 or more, they gave backers a link and mention on Sight Unseen's "list of sites we love"
That didn't cost Sight Unseen a penny, but they got several people to donate $200 each to get it.
Or My Friend's Mustard who raised $4,293 from 54 backers.
For donations above $80, this mustard manufacturer gave folks an invite to their launch party.
Or Love Cupcakes who raised $7,240 from 41 backers.
For donations of $50, they gave donators a dozen cupcakes. And for donations of $500, the cupcake shop named cupcakes after the donators.
And yes, I would probably donate $500 to know that people can walk into a shop and order the Dave Lavinsky cupcake.
The point is that you set up cool rewards (that may not cost you anything) to get people to donate to you...
Now if you're looking for anywhere from $2,000 to $200,000 to start or grow a business, I have something important to tell you.
And I say this having helped thousands of entrepreneurs raise over $2.5 BILLION for more than a decade...
Crowdfunding is hands-down the best way to raise money for any business...
I mean, there isno faster way and no easier way to raise money.
And, you don't have to pay the money back!
You don't need to have tons of money in your bank account.
Or an amazing credit history.
Or a house you can use as collateral.
Or a detailed business plan showing how you'll earn investors an amazing return...
You don't need any of those things.
But, I must warn you.
If you try to raise crowdfunding money yourself, you most likely will fall flat on your face...
In fact, 71.3% of entrepreneurs who have tried so far to get crowdfundingHAVE FAILED!!!
There are simply too many details that you need to get exactly right.. or it doesn't work..
And you only get one chance.
I mean, if you ask someone to donate the wrong way and they say "no," chances are slim to none that you'll get a second chance..
But, if you do it right, you can raise all the money you need quickly and easily..
And that's why I put together a comprehensive yet simple-to-follow program for you:
Crowdfunding Formula gives you a step-by-step blueprint for quickly and easily raising money from Crowdfunding.
Specifically, Crowdfunding Formula is a detailed online video course that walks you through the precise steps you must follow to raise money from crowdfunding.
Let me tell you exactly what's included in Crowdfunding Formula.
In Module 1-"Crowdfunding Overview" -you'll learn:
In Module 2-"Step-By-Step Crowdfunding Guide" -you'll get my 14 step blueprint for crowdfunding success.
You'll learn..
PLUS, I'm even going to give you my proven fill-in-the blank templates for you to post on Facebook and/or send via email to your contacts.
I mean all you need to do is quickly fill in the blanks, email out the message or post in on your Facebook account and you'll start receiving donations instantly.
And then I'll show you the 4 things you mustdo AFTER you launch your crowdfunding project to make sure it succeeds.
And finally, in Module 3 - "Advanced Crowdfunding Tips & Tactics" - you'll get my best cutting-edge crowdfunding strategies.
You'll learn..
Now this last point is huge. Tons of entrepreneurs have raised $5,000, $10,000, $20,000, even up to $200,000 using crowdfunding.
But most crowdfunding raises are in the $5,000 to $25,000 range.
Well, I'm going to show you how to multiply whatever crowdfunding amount you raise by 10 to 20 times using other money raising techniques.
So for example the $25,000 you raise with crowdfunding can quickly turn into $250,000 or $500,000. How does that sound?
And to make sure you can quickly and easily access and put Crowdfunding Formula to work right away, you'll get:
Basically, I'm handing you everything you could ever ask for in order to quickly and easily get all the money you need for your business!
How much would you expect to pay for something like this -- aproven "turn-key" method for quickly raising tons of money from crowdfunding that you never even have to pay back?
Well, before I tell you the price, I want to let you know what else I'm going to give you when you get Crowdfunding Formula...
In addition to the complete Crowdfunding Formula program, you'll get 1 year of email coaching from me and my senior team to get answers to any crowdfunding question you might possibly have.
Have a question, want to run an idea by us, or anything else, and all you have to do is email us at the special email address I'll give you.
But that's not all..
I'm also going to give you my private recording of the closed door interview I recently did with RocketHub founder VladVukicevic.
RocketHub is the world's second largest crowdfunding platform, and Vlad has seen pretty much every crowdfunding success story (and failure) there's been...
In the interview, I got Vlad to answer all of the toughest crowdfunding questions I could come up with, and reveal amazing insider secrets so you can raise more money, more easily from crowdfunding!
And there's more.
I'm also going to give you my recording of the private interview I did with LendingClub founder RenaudeLaplanche.
Laplanche is pretty much the grandfather of the "social lending" industry.and in the interview, I got him to reveal how you could get rich folks to lend you $50,000 simply by filling out a form.
That's more quick money you can raise for your business.
But there's still more I want to give you when you get Crowdfunding Formula.
As you could imagine, the more people that know about your crowdfunding project, the more people that will donate to you.
And, one great tool to help spread the word like wildfire about you and your crowdfunding is Twitter...
I know that some of you already have Twitter accounts with tons of followers.
And with a simple tweet, you can get hundreds or even thousands of folks to donate to your company.
But for those of you who don't have a Twitter account, or would like thousands of more followers that might want to donate to you, I'm going to hand you an invaluable tool.
When you get Crowdfunding Formula today, I'm also going to give you my two special reports.

P.S. Now, if you're on the fence right now just imagine what might happen if you DON'T take action.
If your business idea is good, then you can bet that right now, someone else has the same or a similar idea.
I mean consider this strikingly true quote from a savvy investor:
"Ideas are pretty commoditized these days, so it's almost a certainty that a few other people out there have already thought of the same business idea as you, and are probably even starting it up already."
And if those other people raise capital before you, and get a leg up on you, your chances of success may fade.
Don't let competitors be the ones to raise money and leave you in the dust.

Cycling Monuments, Memorials, Plaques, etc., Part X I
Jac Zwart, author of the Dutch language book "Wielermonumenten - Reisgids door de geschiedenis van de wielersport" (Cycling Monuments - Travel Guide through the History of the Sport of Cycling), contributes his eighth article, this time about a visit to Tualis.
"Last month I made a trip through Northern Italy and had the opportunity to visit a number of cycling monuments which I knew existed but didn't have pictures of. One of those is located in Tualis, a 'frazione' that is part of the municipality of Comeglians, in the province of Udine. Tualis is about 4 kilometers along the ascent of the Monte Crostis.
As many of you will know, the Monte Crostis would be climbed in the 14th stage of the Giro d'Italia this year, but was eliminated from the stage because the riders complained about the dangerous descent and the fact that the team cars would not be able to follow and support the riders during that part of the race. Indeed, the road appeared to be very steep and narrow. And I just climbed the first four kilometers. I didn't do the descent but I can really understand the fear of the riders.
Sadly, the enthusiastic inhabitants of Tualis had planned a number of festivities to welcome the Giro: they renamed the central piazza to Piazza Giro d'Italia and they erected a statue in the form of a racing bike. Understandably, the inhabitants were not amused that the Giro decided to take an alternate route to the finish on the Monte Zoncolan, just days before this stage would take place. Still, they have kept this tribute to the Giro in place. It is worth a visit to this challenging environment for many cyclists."

Established four years ago during the third Session of the World Conservation Congress in Thailand, the award will go to a conservation professional with outstanding contributions to conservation of nature and natural resources. The winner will be announced at the upcoming IUCN World Conservation Congress in Barcelona, 5-14 October. The deadline is 30 June 2008. [ Français ¦ Español ]
Anybody can nominate any individual by filling out the appropriate form. Please note that no individuals may nominate themselves and that current staff and officers of IUCN are not eligible. Nominations may be sent, using the attached nomination form, via fax (+41 22 999 00 25), email (email@example.com), or mail (Attention: "Coolidge Medal" at the IUCN headquarters' address).
Nominees shall be individuals who have made internationally significant contributions to effective conservation in one or more of the following ways:
- inspiration and support to individuals enabling them to become leading conservationists.
- exceptional contribution to the establishment of conservation institutions, or expanding the scope of exisiting ones.
- creation or implementation of international conservation initiatives.
The selection will be made by the 2008 award jury, consisting of conservation leaders and Council Members, reflecting the geographical diversity of IUCN and familiar with the conservation ideals of Harold Jefferson Coolidge.
Late Harold Jefferson Coolidge, born in Boston in 1904, was one of the founders of IUCN, a former president of the Union and its principal fundraiser from 1948 to the 1980s. He founded and chaired the Species Survival and National Parks Commission of IUCN, and was the first to bring women scientists into international conservation research. He influenced the lives of many students and professionals wishing to achieve the goals of conservation and environment protection. The Harold Jefferson Coolidge Memorial medal honoring those who generously gave of their time, expertise and resources to help establish the Union in 1948, will be awarded at each World Conservation Congress to a conservation activist, who, just like Dr Coolidge, never takes no for an answer.

MESys Expands to Massachusetts
This week, the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources dished out $3.5 million to renewable heating projects in the state, as I briefly reported on yesterday.
Among grant recipients were our friends at Maine Energy Systems (MESys), which received over $800,000 to develop a bulk wood pellet distribution facility and wood pellet boiler showroom in Salisbury, Mass. MESys is headquartered in Bethel, Maine, and this new facility sounds like it will be set up similarly. I was actually up there for a visit in April while attending the Northeast Biomass Heating Expo, and I have to say that it's a pretty neat place.
This morning, I gave Dutch Dresser a buzz to talk a little bit more about MES's plans. The facility will have a two-silo storage system like its Bethel facility does, he said, to store pellets from the mills MES does business with, and a 16-ton, Austrian-style bulk delivery truck that will be used to deliver the pellets to homes and businesses. Areas the facility will serve include the Massachusetts region, northern Connecticut, Rhode Island, southern Maine, southern New Hampshire and southern Vermont, he said.
Also on the Salisbury site will be a warehouse for MESys AutoPellet boilers and parts, and a showroom for boiler technology.
So why Massachusetts? "I think there are two reason," Dresser said, "One is that it's a large market opportunity, and the area is currently underserved while there's growing demand. Also, the Mass DOER has continuously been very aggressive about promoting renewable energy growth in the state."
Construction will begin right away, Dresser told me. "We're in the process of closing on the land now, and we're anxious to get moving. We're looking for the right people as we speak."
And the spread of renewable wood heat in the Northeast region continues. I look forward to seeing plans for this facility progress—congratulations to MESys.
