css positioning help . . .

[sjvilla79]

guys,

i can't be sure if my positioning of the UP and Down arrows on my site are in place correctly or not.
during testing all worked well, but i can't check it using IE6 or even IE 5 . . any lend us a hand.

they DIVS should be aligned correctly and not shoved up five pixels towards the top of the page. this only happens in ie 5, let me know what you see.

thanks,

scott

This is how it looks in IE6.

Hope it helps

It sounds to me like the dodgy IE5.x box model to me.

You might want to try this CSS hack and see if you can get it working.

And we though CSS was supposed to get rid of this nonsense.

yeah, it's the box model hack that is needed, will do some tests to see if it works.

this is the code that is not working correctly in IE5, every other broswer works fine. what i am trying to do is add the CSS box model hack to these style rules . . anyone have any ideas?

/*DON'T TOUCH THIS*/
#divContainer {
position: absolute;
width: 194px; height: 152px;
overflow: hidden;
top: 88px; left: 405px;
clip: rect(0px, 194px, 152px, 0px);
visibility: hidden;
}
/*OR THIS*/
#divContent {
position: absolute;
top: 0px; left: 0px;
}

ps - IE 5.5 does not support the box fix that i implemented. to get it to work i had to load the original style sheet through a JAVASCRIPT , , same goes for Netscape 6+ . . bit tricky but can email the script to anyone who want it . .
