This seems promising, but i haven't gotten a chance to try it yet and i am wondering if anyone has: http://www.zeldman.com/daily/0103d.shtml#tweaks thanks for any help! e. -- erik hopp erik|at|mediamutiny.org home/work: 401.621.2529 cell: 401.744.0970 268 knight street providence, ri 02909 http://mediamutiny.org | http://quilted.org
I had a similar problem with a CSS & nested-divs based rounded corner design. In the end I admitted temporary defeat and fell back to tables. So, I am interested in tips on this as well. -t erik hopp wrote:

I'm sure it's an IE bug, try adding position:relative to the element. Trae Tao Starbow wrote:

This is a very well-known bug in IE, known as the "peekaboo bug". It's one of the top reasons on the very long list of reasons why IE must die. http://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer/peekaboo.html There's one common place documenting the bug. Google will find you a dozen more. There are about 4-5 different ways around it. I strongly recommend against any of the "rely on other CSS bugs" or comment hiding tricks, as they are guaranteed to die on you without warning some day soon and break something else. The height: 100% trick is what I generally use. Cheers. On Monday 05 December 2005 06:24 pm, erik hopp wrote:
