This is a known issue. One way to fix this would be to use a CSS expression to get the computed height of the parent, you could try this: * html .myAbsolutelyPositionedElement { behavior: expression( (this.runtimeStyle.behavior="none") && (this.runtimeStyle.height = (this.parentNode.offsetHeight/2) + "px")); } Do *not* replace the "* html" hack with the "_property" hack here, because IE7 would get that expression too. -- Regards, Thierry | www.tjkdesign.com ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
