Hmm, this just might work, with a little tweaking, maybe some padding, I may well get the effect I wanted. I guess this is a case of me looking for to specific an answer, instead of a solution to a general problem, and also looking on the wrong side for the solution.

Of course, this goes to show just one of the many things I love about this community, and stayed here so long (I tend to wonder from most places after a couple months). Even though the eventual solution was... off-topic, I suppose, it was offered without the usual sort of shouting that so many other places see. Also goes to show why I'm not in charge of the HTML side of things, my html and CSS are rather rusty.
