Klaus... That helps...but I won't know in advance if someone is using 6 or 7. Is there a way to force this hack to only apply to the correct browser version?

Thickbox 3 is based on some modifications I did, so maybe I can help. I'd like to know if the bug occurs in IE 7 or IE 6? The expression is used to emulate fixed positioning in IE 6, IE 7 supports fixed positioning. The problem is that if IE 7 runs in Quirks mode the star selector hack will be applied as well, so maybe IE 7 incorrectly applies the expression in addition to its already correct fixed positioning. You can check if IE 7 runs in Quirks mode by typing the following into the address bar and hit enter: alert(document.compatMode); If it alerts "CSS1Compat" it is Standards mode, if "BackCompat", it's Quirks mode. --Klaus
