Details

In the 99-02-16 build (and not in the 99-02-11 build) there is a strange problem with my homepage (URL above). The absolutely positioned bit is getting displaced quite a bit lower than it should be. (Could this be another parser bug??)
This actually resulted from a change I made that I had to undo because of an IE4 problem. However, it is *really* a difference between 02-16 and 02-11 (but it could have resulted from a parser bug being fixed??). What you need to do to reproduce it is change the padding on BODY in the stylesheet back to margin.

Rick fixed the parser so that the SPAN elements are nested inside of the H1 element. That's why things are displaying differently. As far as why things quite a bit lower than they should, I think that's the same problem as bug #2502, so I'm marking this as a DUP. I updated the example in 2502, so it demonstrates the problem (your homepage changed, so the previous sample HTML behaved differently) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 2502 ***
