I have a test page up at: http://fox-land.co.uk/clients/test/test.html
In IE6/7 the relatively positioned elements do not stay in the overall flow of the page when the elements above are hidden (the jquery code uses .hide(1000), but the same happens if you use .hide() ). This must be a problem others have experienced, but I can't find any obvious fix for this. Ideally I'd like to find a fix for this that would not require removing any show/hide effects or the relatively positioned elements. Any help here would be very very useful...?
