Sorry about the slow reply; I haven't been able to get online all weekend. I fear you've misinterpreted the problem (or I worded the original post badly, which is more likely :).
The CSS works fine; there is no problem with the page I'm using. The example I gave previously was the bare minimum markup and CSS to recreate this rendering bug (I'm calling it a bug, for simplicity's sake). The last <option> tag on the page contains only asterisks, and you can see in the screen shot (and hopefully the example, in IE) that these asterisks are rendered *outside* of the select box, in addition to being rendered correctly inside it. Furthermore, interacting with these extra asterisks has the same consequences as interacting with the <option> tag itself, proving that the two are one and the same element. I was just curious to know if this issue (drop down contents appearing elsewhere on the page in IE) has been raised before, and if not, to point it out. So, has anybody seen this bug 'in the wild'? I need to know or it'll be irritating me all week ;) Cheers, Rob ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
