    Hi all!

    I ran into a web issue that I don’t quite understand. Here is an example of what I am talking about:

    http://austindw.com/onesource/index.html

    Take a look at the bottom 3 boxes. I would essentially like the boxes to line up with the first, and I can do that by changing the positioning of the header element to absolute.

    It’s not exactly the solution that I am curious about (because I can solve it) but I’m more curious about why this is happening.

    As the second box demonstrates, it appears that the box is affected by the position of the top of the text contained in the header element. Why is this?

    Any insight would be appreciated!

    P.S. This is web site rubrick, so the design is not finished! No nitpicky-ness!

    further research tells me that it has something to do with the verticle-align property, which I still don’t fully understand.

    BTW, the site rocks: http://robertnyman.com/2010/02/24/css-d … -it-sucks/
