Lopst Div in Netscape 1

glenmac · Feb 28, 2005

I have a page that looks like I want in IE but in NS a div disapears. Must be the way NS enterpets my positioning. Is there a way to make it look the same in both browsers, other than using javascript and a different style sheet? In IE the links menu shows but in NS it doesn't.

IE doesn't correctly interpret negative margins, so your bodlinks shows up. Firefox (& I assume NS) correctly pushes your 'bodlinks' 1000 pixels before the top of the page.

I believe your div is only enclosed within the <body> tag, so it is being displayed above that (i.e. not displayed as it is off the screen).

That's what I figured but it doesn't help on how to remedy the problem.

instead of

Code:

#bodlinks{
float:left;
position:relative;
top:-1000px;
height:300px;
font-size:15px;
}

try

Code:

#bodlinks{
float:left;
position:absolute;
top:200px;
margin: 0px 10px;
font-size:15px;
}

adjust as needed
