My primary browser setup filtered out the image, my firewalled IE asked
for permission to retrieve something using port 443 which I denied. It
doesn't help if you serve advertising if you want help with your code.

Sorry, but I used an ad example from Google because I thought that might
be an example that is always available. This is just an image. Maybe you
get a different image from what I get in Germany. I uploaded one to my
server and changed to markup. Hope this works better.

Please try again now! TIA!

IE's default overflow behavior is broken.

Please advice!

TIA

Creating non trivial IE compatible CSS layouts requires an in depth
knowledge of CSS and IE's bugs and shortcomings, neither are easily
transferred. I can't speak for the others, but I'm put off from
answering such questions, I don't have the time or energy to yet again
explain the whole shebang.

If you are finding it difficult to create your own IE compatible CSS
layout (no shame in that), why not look at one of the many existing
layout templates available?

Spartanicus,

I gues I'm long enough in the process of developing websites and have
the experience to create my own IE compatible CSS layout but ran into
this problem nevertheless. I read a lot of articles, websites etc. but
couldn't find any one that shows an attempt to solve this problem.

I didn't ask especially you to help me. Of course I understand if
someone doesn't have the time to care about my problem. Thank you
anyway.

Thomas

If you are unfamiliar with IE's overflow behaviour then you are not as
experienced as you claim to be.

I didn't assume that you did.

I loaded the test case when you originally posted, I saw three examples
that for no apparent reason complicated the deciphering of your code. I
looked at it for a bit and then I thought "this guy is making it
difficult for others to help him" and then I silently decided not to
bother deciphering your code.

My previous reply was intended to provide some hints as to how to get
help from this group. This group is not a help desk, help is generally
available, but it helps considerably if you treat the group for what it
is: a discussion group.

People who post complete designs or needlessly complicated code may get
a reply from people eager to show off what they know about CSS, in my
experience the really skilled people in this group tend not to bother
replying to such posts.

Questions about IE's bugs and shortcomings also fall into this category,
it's a subject that the regulars are tired of discussing, and info on
this matter is widely available through other sources.

No can do. IE's overflow handling is incorrect and unfixable.
Add "position: relative" to the .content style. This changes IE's
behavior to a less objectionable mode.

Firefox is correct.
