And the z-index set if necessary to ensure it absolute-position="fixed" To get any bleed that you might be able to get anyway, use 'overflow="visible"' [3] on the fo:region-before (or whatever) and position your fo:block-container for the coloured block by specifying one corner that is not on the edge of the page as well as a width and/or height that is larger than the distance to the edge(s). > appears to be behind the footer. ... > - Also, how do I get a block to be at the bottom of its containing block > (or block-container) ? display-align="after" [1] Regards, Tony Graham tgraham@xxxxxxxxxx Consultant http://www.mentea.net Chair, Print and Page Layout Community Group @ W3C XML Guild member -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Mentea XML, XSL-FO and XSLT consulting, training and programming [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl11/#display-align [2] http://www.w3.org/TR/xslfo20/#bleed-box [3] http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl11/#overflow
