[SOLVED] CSS Header position difference IExplorer

Hello,

Maybe someone here could help me.

I have a website on http://www.globamundus.com

The header in IE is too low covering the breadcrumb and the serach field. It is OK in Firefox.

I have the following structure

1. div#pagewrapper defined with margin:0 auto
    1.1 div#header I just specified the height: 250px;
          1.1.1 div#logo: float:left; position:relative
          1.1.2. div#topNav float:left; position:relative
          1.1.3  div#topbanner (The problem one)
                    display: block;
                    position:relative;
                    top:60px;  (ok in Firefox) (but top:0px is OK for IE)
                    left:37px;
                    height: 185px;   

Is there a way to have it working for both browser ?

here is the entire CSS

Code: Select all

Have you tried using an absolute position?

  float:top;
  display: block;
  position:absolute;
  top:70px;
  left:127px;
  height: 185px;        /* adjust according your image size */
  background:#B59E72;
  width:745px;

unfortunately it won't work, as the page is centered on the screen (this is why there is a wrapper).

What about:

div#topbanner {
  display: block;
  position:relative;
  top:60px;
  left:37px;
  height: 185px;
  background:#B59E72;
  width:745px;         
}

* html #topbanner {
  top: 0;  /* IE6 only */
}

Tks.

In the mean time (just by chance I found a similar solution which is (also) working. I will put it here in case someone else have the same problem:


/*********** banner on top of page ****************/
This is for IE
  div#topbanner {   
  display: block;
  position:relative; top:0px; left:37px;
  height: 185px;
  background:#B59E72;
  width:745px;         

/*  padding-left:213px;
  margin-right:45px;
  */
  }

/**************** Hack IE7 *******************
only read by non-IE browsers */

html[lang='\
en']
div#topbanner {
  display: block;
  position:relative; top:60px; left:37px;
   
  height: 185px;
  background:#B59E72;
}

Well, that seemed to do the trick.

The only problem is with IE6 and the GlobeDetoured.png graphic you're using. The transparency doesn't work. You should consider using a gif instead.

thanks, I will try that. Maybe, because there are some midtones, I will go for a brown background (same as original one).

Many many TKS nullig .... next time we meet I offer the drinks  :)
