In IE6 I found that the border disappears in a combination of style, tags and preceding text. In IE the border around a block item(p, h1,h2 etc) will not be displayed when the containing div has a width in percentage or pixels and a positioning relative, with some preceding text. How to display the border?
* Remove the content in the parent div (also an empty p will have this effect) and the border on the block item is displayed. (not really usefull though but you can test it) * Set width of the content style to auto and the border is displayed. (only usefull with a width of 100%(differs about 1 or 2 pixels with auto), and when you don't use a background color. * Dimension the block element for instance with the holy hack: * HTML .bordered{height:1%} * Remove position relative in container Here is my example: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>border test</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <style type="text/css" title="text/css"> .content { position: relative; width: 100%; } .bordered{ border: 1px solid #8AC; } </style> </head> <body > <div class="content"> content in 'content'-layer <div > <p class="bordered">This should be a block element WITH BORDER</p> </div> </div> </body> </html> ================================================ De informatie opgenomen in dit bericht kan vertrouwelijk zijn en is uitsluitend bestemd voor de geadresseerde.
