It falls over in IE 6 in lots of other ways, so IE 7 only please ;) It's an instance where applying 'position:relative' to the container actually triggers the bug. I can confirm this. Tino Zijdel reported a similar bug test case [1] to the MS IE blog. I've tried to include this in the second Example: A relatively positioned parent ceases rendering and disappears in [2] The parent has no layout, but has position:relative. A child float is immediately followed by a clearing element. In IE7, the whole construct disappears. r.p. parent (-) ... float clear In your case, there is another problem: After the float, but before the clearer, there is an absolutely positioned element. This element itself disappears in IE [3]. r.p. parent ... float a.p. element (-) clear You have an a.p. element that causes the float and clearer to adjoin which results in a disappearence of the r.p. parent. If this a.p. element would be set to position:static, the parent would re-appear -- because the float would be separated from the clear A fix is to apply haslayout to the parent. Always apply layout to a relatively positioned container of floats. With this fix, the parent, the float and the clearer re-appears, but not the a.p. element because of [3]. You may solve the problem with separating the a.p. from the float and clearer by another div like Bruno Fassino describes in [3].

The problem you are reporting is not of that now you can see me, now you don't kind. Ah, thanks for that, I guess that's why I didn't find anything in the archives. Has anyone come up with a pithy name for this? ;) I've tried to include this in the second Example: A relatively positioned parent ceases rendering and disappears in [2] And a much more attractive example. :) In your case, there is another problem: After the float, but before the clearer, there is an absolutely positioned element. This element itself disappears in IE [3]. The only reason the content div was given r.p. was to allow the placement of the a.p. box at the bottom. I don't think the a.p. box is required to trigger the bug, but I included the box so that the relative positioning didn't seem random. A fix is to apply haslayout to the parent. Always apply layout to a relatively positioned container of floats. I don't want to apply a width, so I guess using an IE-only 'zoom' or height would fix it. I need to re-read the haslayout article again! With this fix, the parent, the float and the clearer re-appears, but not the a.p. element because of [3]. You may solve the problem with separating the a.p. from the float and clearer by another div like Bruno Fassino describes in [3].

[css-d] IE7b2 peekaboo?
Hi everyone, Apologies if I missed it before, but has anyone else had problems with peekaboo bugs in IE7? I thought it had been fixed, so I was a little surprised to come across it, and stripped it down to a test case: http://alastairc.ac/testing/IE7_bugs/peekaboo_floats_01.html Could someone confirm what I'm seeing?
