Hi,
Is it possible to create a colored box like this? :
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
#bbb {
background: #f00;
position: absolute;
top: 10px;
left: 50px;
bottom: 100px;
right: 300px
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="bbb"></div>
</body>
</html>
I tried it and it works in FireFox and Opera (although the box is wider
and slightly taller in FireFox than in Opera). However it does not work in
IE (I know, I know). In fact in IE it does not show up AT ALL unless I put
something in the DIV (for example a <p>a</p> - <p></p> does not work). Even
then, it is only as tall and wide as the element I put in it. I've seen
lots of complaints and work around for fixed positioning in IE but I'm using
absolute. Also, I'm specifying all 4 dimensions and the only examples I've
seen have used just two.
Is it just IE or am I doing something wrong? If it's IE, is there a
workaround? If not, how can I fix it?
Thanks.

Its just IE. It can't cope with setting the size of an element based on the
positioning of two opposite edges.

JavaScript perhaps.

You must set a width and hight value to the box before IE can show it.

But setting the width and height explicitly overrides the width and
height caused by setting the left+right and top+bottom.

Please, don't top post.
Well, if you don't see any box at all without the width and height it
can't override anything :-)
The left, right, top and bottom is for setting the box in a certain
position on the screen (absolute in this case), not for the size of the
box. The browsers (IE excluded) just fill upp the screen with the box
color in the area that the left, right, top and bottom settings have
"left over".
Have you tried this:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<style type="text/css">
#bbb {
background: #f00;
position: absolute;
width:30%;
height:30%;
top: 300px;
left: 550px;
bottom: 100px;
right: 300px
}
</style>
<title>boxtes t</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="bbb"></div>
</body>
</html>

AHA! http://www.fu2k.org/alex/css/frames/ I don't like doing it this
way but IE is prevalent so there's really no choice. Doesn't Microsoft know
that IE has some bugs? Did anyone bother telling them? MS puts out IE
patches every month, so why don't they fix these and put out a patch to deal
with these CSS bugs once and for all?!

People do
MS puts out IE patches every month,
^ security
so why don't they fix these and put
out a patch to deal with these CSS bugs once and for all?!
They aren't saying, but the three main theories are:
1: Trident (the Win32/IE rendering engine) is an old codebase that is hard
to maintain and that getting proper support for CSS 2 would require a
fairly large rewrite of large portions of it.
2: Microsoft are waiting for Longhorn so they can use it as a selling point.
3: IE is so prevalent that they just don't care.
In the meantime Firefox has achieved one million downloads over the course
of about five days ... for a _preview_ release.

Well, they could have ported Tasman (Mac/IE5 rendering engine).

But isn't the Mac version of IE worse? I've seen a lot more nags and
warnings about stuff not being supported on MacIE than WinIE.

FireFox does seem to render pages pretty well. It's not perfect, it has
it's little bugs (that can be maddening) but for an early app it works quite
well.

There is some things in CSS2 that only MacIE ever took seriously. Like
that float needs to have width. The reason you see more warnings about
MacIE, is because people assume you don't know limitations of MacIE. It
is better engine that IE6, despite it is even older than that.
Of course MacIe has bugs too, but not nearly as meny as WinIE.

2. How can I put a 4px margin BETWEEN the right-boxes, "border-top:

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
