[css-d] IE6 input type=image sizing issue

2008-05-14 Thread Paul Wehle
Hi, we got the problem that IE6 is not getting the image size of buttons correct when loading them first time. A normal refresh by F5 or Ctrl+F5 does not help either, but revisiting the page does. The buttons get width:auto; height:auto; from CSS, having it fixed isn't really an option. FF,

[css-d] Absolute positioning, off-screen positioning and scrollbars

Hi, I'm wondering if someone could point out where in the spec the following behaviour is defined. If I use absolute positioning to position an element off the left-hand side of the screen, I don't get any scroll bars: body div style=position:absolute;left:-100em;border:1px solid

And I presume because when the left attribute is assigned a negative value, the calculation of the canvas's width is not increased, so scroll bars are not added? Though it is taken out of the normal flow, it is still painted on the canvas (CSS 2.1: 2.3.1: the space where the formatting
