don't get me wrong, pls, I do believe your reasoning to be sound, I just
wanted you to show me how to absolute-position an img outside a div
(this is what you meant, right?..) I can't post code w/o altering it a
bit (it's for corp site at work, which has not been published..) but
will continue to investigate... thank you all for you responses.. Frances

All I said was that instead of wrapping the img in a div and then
positioning the div, you can position the img directly, like so:
<style type="text/css">
#bar {position:absolute; top:160px; left:20px}
</style>
<img id="bar" src="images/bar.gif" width="768" height="1" border="0">
