Themes, call order, and the panel div.

I'm in a situation where i'd like to place the contents of the panel div (in a sidebar) *before* the "Header", "Session" and "Body" divs -- basically, I want the output of panel.php before I get the output of menu.php. I want to do this without any hacks taking place outside the themes files. IE is currently puking on negative positioning for the panel div, so it's not an option. Possible or impossible? If impossible, could I make this possible with an Extension? thanks!

    guess I'm going to try tweaking the control position vars for now.

    Ok, added the following to my settings.php: $Configuration['CONTROL_POSITION_HEAD'] = '100'; $Configuration['CONTROL_POSITION_PANEL'] = '200'; $Configuration['CONTROL_POSITION_MENU'] = '300'; $Configuration['CONTROL_POSITION_BANNER'] = '300'; that appeared to do it. At little less clean than I'd like, but at least it'll mean I should be able to upgrade smoothly. Awesome!

    Yep - that's the idea :)

    I ended up just moving the top half of the Panel div into menu.php.
