A thing that people should keep in mind is that position:relative is related to the stack order, not to the hasLayout property. Simply put, an element does _not_ disappear, but is actually covered by the parent/ancestor background. this happens also in other contexts. for example:
1. floats with negative horizontal margins 2. links with borders used as text-decoration 1. this is not a bug, but a limit in the current implementation. CSS 2.1 does _not_ define this kind of rendering so that these things can occur in some browsers. btw, the fact that this feature works in other browsers is a mere convention. see David Baron's "Overuse of floats considered harmful" 2. this is a bug. xxx ^.^ 2008/5/29 Andy Vaughn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > This may help explain some issues people have with IE and relative > positioning on floated links: > http://positioniseverything.net/explorer/ie-listbug.html > > Best of luck, > > Andy Vaughn > Breakaway Web Design, LLC > http://www.breakawaywd.com/ > ______________________________________________________________________ > css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d > List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ > List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html > Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/ > -- http://www.css-zibaldone.com/ http://www.css-zibaldone.com/test/ (English) http://mimicry.css-zibaldone.com/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
