It also specified a top and left of 0, so essentially the rule was saying 'lay out this box according to normal flow, then offset it from its original position by 0px' i.e. don't move it. It seemed superfluous, so I removed it. Doing so appeared to fix the problem with no discernible side effects. As for why it isn't affecting other pages, I have no idea. It's probably, as Stas suggests, a size thing. Is that the biggest page on the site? Steve -- Steve Piner Web Applications Developer Marketview Limited http://www.marketview.co.nz

IE 5.50.4807.2300 (SP2) on Win98SE I had different problems - the first time I went to the page, IE crashed my machine, so I had to reboot. After I'd rebooted I went back to the page. I got the extremely slow scrolling, but, more significantly, I got the second half of the page overlaid on top of the first half. I grabbed a copy of the page with Opera's 'save with images' option (strangely enough doing it with IE, and viewing the result didn't get the same display) and verified that the bug occurred with my local copy. I then had a bit of a fiddle with the stylesheet, and discovered that taking out the 'position: relative's seemed to stop the overlay, improving IEs performance markedly without affecting the page layout in any of the browsers I have installed (Netscape 4.79, Mozilla 2002053012, Opera 6.04) (There was no reason *why* taking out the 'position: relative's should work - it just struck me as the first thing that wasn't necessary in the style sheet. Possibly irritating an IE bug just a little too much) Hope this helps, Steve -- Steve Piner Web Applications Developer Marketview Limited http://www.marketview.co.nz

Allan, You are trying to solve it by applying HTML::Clean, which reduces the size of the page, right? But even if it does solve the problem for this particular page, what happens if the page grows, or there is some other page which is bigger, and no cleanup will make it small enough to make IE happy. __ Stas BekmanJAm_pH --> Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide ---> http://perl.apache.org mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://use.perl.org http://apacheweek.com http://modperlbook.org http://apache.org http://ticketmaster.com

If it's > just me with the problem, I'll go find a rock to hide under. :) Is the size of the page causes the trouble? I don't have IE to try so hopefully someone will help us out here. What happens if you shorten the content of the page? My guess is that IE simply cannot cope with a long page and the current complex stylesheet (because as say it works fine with the same page and a simpler stylesheet, which includes no layout instructions). Suggestions on how to fix that are welcome. __ Stas BekmanJAm_pH --> Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide ---> http://perl.apache.org mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://use.perl.org http://apacheweek.com http://modperlbook.org http://apache.org http://ticketmaster.com
