absolute position not showing in IE 6

Hello good pple of the forum, attached to this is thread is what i would like to achieve using css, my code works fine in firefox. However, it is not displaying as well as it should in IE. The major issue is the navigation bar, this displays in firefox, but i can't seem to figure out a way of displaying it IE.

Css Code:

Code CSS:

#wrapper {
	padding: 0px;
	width:768px;
	margin:0px;
}
 
/* the div for the logo 'mycareer'*/
div#wrapper div#masthead div#logo{
width:252px;
height:65px;
float:left;
margin-top:20px;
margin-left:4px;
}
/*div for the picture*/
div#wrapper div#masthead div#mainpic{
width:312px;
height:190px;
float:left;
margin-top:9px;
}
 
/*div for the graybar on the right*/
div#wrapper div#masthead div#profilelinks{
width:195px;
height:43px;
float:left;
background-image: url(images/topmenubg.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
margin-top:9px;
	}
 
/*navigation that is not showing up in IE*/
div#wrapper div#masthead  div#navbar
{
width:768px;
background:#CCCCCC;
overflow:hidden;
float:left;
position:absolute;
bottom:0px;
left:0px;

Thanks

Try adding this to your css to trigger HasLayout in IE6 :

Code:

* html #navbar {
height: 1%;
}

Also, as an id should only be used once in a page, there is no need to list the parent elements or element type in the css, so div#wrapper div#masthead div#profilelinks can simply be referenced as #profilelinks etc.

Do you have somewhere you can upload this online? - I would like to see where the graphics are split and the full css for the ul.

Also, get rid of that first line of the html code - the doctype should be the first thing, and that will be throwing IE into quirks mode.
