Hallo,

Please take a look at the following page:
http://www.digitale-bibliothek.de/Downloads/CSS-Test/blog.htm

The left column div (with the menu) and the right one (with the google ads)
are positioned absolutely, with em values.

In Firefox (or Opera) the top position of those divs is as I want it to be.
In IE 7 or IE 6 (not tested in older versions of IE) they are positioned to
high. This could lead to the opinion that IE is taking another font size as
a reference, thus using a different em value and computing a different top
coordinate.

BUT: If I set the left position of the left div to 1em (instead of 0em), the
new left positions in Firefox and IE are the same.

AND: If I set the top coordinate of those divs to 0em, then only in IE the
divs really touch the upper border of the browsers client area. In Firefox
there is still a gap between the top border of the client area and the top
of the divs.

So my guess is that the top coordinate of the origin (the root point) that
is used for the calculation of the position of those divs is different in
IE. And just from intuition I would even say that IE computes the correct
position.

But maybe this is an issue of the mode (strict, loose) or something else...

Does anyone have a better experience with this than I have, and see what is
going wrong here, and in which browser?
