Re: [xsl] Block-Container within page margin

---

---

Hi,

I've done some messing around with this problem.  If I set the left position
of the block at beyond -0.6 and specify a background colour for the block,
the block renders with the background colour, but not with the image.

BTW, I have tried setting overflow to visible, but this seems to make no
difference.

Thanks,

Mark Williams
