Thanks very much, Jim. Forcing the parent element of those DIVs (its simply the body) to have hasLayout didn't change anything.

This sounds like a hasLayout problem so try setting the absolutely positioned element's parent to zoom: 1; (invalid CSS, but I use it to test for hasLayout as it doesn't affect other browsers). Also, if you're using a zero unit (0em) you can write that as just 0 (which is standard coding practice and it saves a few bytes of data each time you do it, thus increasing the speed at which your page loads). -- Thanks, Jim ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- 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/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- 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/
