Hi all, I thought I understood absolute and relative positioning pretty well, but I've hit upon either a bug in Firefox and Safari (unlikely) or a bug in IE6 (likely) and/or gaps in my knowledge about this subject (also likely). Please have a look at the following two documents:
http://jeroencoumans.nl/test/border.html http://jeroencoumans.nl/test/no-border.html In short: the body is relatively positioned, and in it are three divs: #content, #left and #right. The latter two are absolutely positioned to the top and to the left resp. right. Strangely enough, when the relatively positioned element *doesn't* have a border, the absoluteley positioned elements are positioned *relative* to the non-positioned element! The no-border.html demonstrates this: only #content has a top margin, yet both #left and #right start at the same margin. And even more dubiously, Internet Explorer seems to do the correct thing - the positioning shouldn't be affected by the presence of a border, so both files should be rendered the same. At least, that's what I thought. Does anybody have an idea what's going on? Thanks, -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Jeroen Coumans www.jeroencoumans.nl ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- 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/
