Stuart and all others - Yes, the display:inline; was a mistaken left-over from harried efforts to get this working with IE ... I was throwing the kitchen sink at the problem ... one declaration at a time ... but still couldn't get it to work. It's out now but still no result. Strange as the css validates with the exception of the star hack I'm forced to use on this project because I'm not allowed to use IE CC's to break out browser specific sheets.
ANYWAY ... I really don't know what's causing the problem ... pretty straight forward stuff that I recall accomplishing in other designs. Can anyone see what I'm not seeing?

What happens if you remove it from #bottom_nav? As in, #bottom_nav { text-align: right; position: absolute; right: 9px; bottom: 0px; /* display: inline; */ height: 196px; width: 535px; *width: 550px; background: url(/resources/5661/assets/images_community/footer.jpg) no-repeat 0 0; } On Mon, May 14, 2007 12:12 am, Cole Kuryakin wrote: > Hello Kepler - > > Thanks for your tip; unfortunately since this is a hard-wired blogging > system, the HTML cannot be changed so I cannot implement an HTML-based > fix. > Just to see if you were right (about display:inline; pushing the content > to > the right of the wrapper) I did re-set my screen resolution to 1600 and I > didn't see it either. > > If I float the UL, the footer graphic and links do appear in both IE and > FF > so I know it has something to do with the absolute positioning of this > element -- but I just don't know how to fix it for IE. > > I'm starting to get the "shakes" that this one issue is going to hose the > entire design. > > Anyone else have any ideas to fix this via the CSS?
