There is a caveat, which is that the space available for the text
RENDEZVOUS is 25% of the viewport, minus 80px. That's only 110px for an
800px viewport. The text can easily be wider than that in a reasonably
sized font. This means it jumps down a whole line, which, since we've
set line-height to 80px, is 80px.
I get RENDEZVOUS jumping down in Firefox for viewports narrower than
about 950px, and I haven't made any changes to the fonts it installed
itself with. I often use an 800px viewport.
Making the container min-width: 25% rather than width: 25% may be better
(although that might not work in IE). Then you could also give
#headingLeft z-index: 1 so that if the viewport is too narrow, the blue
region and the text in it just covers up a bit of the picture of a cafe,
which is quite unnoticeable. Then it won't jump down until the viewport
gets really narrow.

Thanks! No need for a real name.
