You'll find that most cases are related to IE losing track of relations between parent and child elements, thus getting the stacking wrong and/or unstable. The result is that the child gets completely or partly covered by the parent. If the parent has a transparent background or (as often is the case) no background, then this covering-effect is not immediately apparent. Once there are backgrounds involved, the covering-effect may become really confusing, because IE mixes up the relations between elements. You may then either stiffen up IE's backbone by triggering its 'hasLayout' bug at the right elements, while making sure to counteract any negative effects that bug may have on element-relations. You may also, in some but not all cases, affect the stacking directly. In many cases you'll have to do both to achieve a reliable effect/fix. I'll borrow Bruno's test case to illustrate the covering effect in a certain case - not unlike the original case in this thread... <http://brunildo.org/test/iew_boo2.html> ...and add a pointer to a relevant section in the 'hasLayout' article... <http://www.satzansatz.de/cssd/onhavinglayout.html#stack> regards Georg -- http://www.gunlaug.no ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
