Oh. I'm using the div as an overlay rather then changing the style of
the body because I like how the div blocks access to the page.

I am using this div as an "underlay" to a "pop in box", a div that is
made visible to display a message, like a pop in box

Yes!

What about setting the height and the width?

Not, it seems on my Mac FF (2.0.0.14. As far as I understand you. But I
am intrigued).

I was not meaning to imply I wanted this. My experience in these matters
is that the American people are fabulously open and generous when it
comes to anything E.T. and I honour them by using their currency. Also,
it makes it *clear* what a pathetic amount I am asking for, this in
itself generates sympathy (it is not cheap putting tails on The Canvas,
HTML, BODY, my operatives cost me plenty and their equipment is
extremely high tech, the HTML camera alone takes up half my annual
budget).
