Hi Daniel, I'm not sure as to exactly which IE bugs or CSS deviations are in play here, but I notice immediately that you might have much better luck by simplifying the markup and approach. I'm not sure why you are using absolute positioning to layout the nesting, but a true nested structure: <div id="outer_content_box"> <div id="inner_content_box"> ....... inner content box goes here </div> </div> combined with padding on the outer box, and dimensions set only on the inner box, will allow the outer's background to poke through as a border, in (I think) your desired effect. This also has the advantage that the two boxes will remain aligned when text is resized. I've put up a full version at: http://www.fiveminuteargument.com/nested-divs.html Let me know if you have any further issue with this approach.
