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?
