You could try using padding instead but I am not sure how the position: relative will affect it. I have stopped using position: relative as it is not a very flexible measure. Why not leave out the position: and instead just use width: auto or width: 100% ?<br /> As far as I know Mozilla 6 and possible NS7 are the only browsers that get relative positioning right.<br /> -dk</p> Sat, 22 Mar 2003 21:27:16 +0000 dk01 comment 1127701 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/html-css-and-javascript/div-width-problem#comment-1127685 <p>I took out the z-index:1; and the position:relative; but it still gives me the same problem in IE5 :S <img src="https://www.webmaster-forums.net/misc/smileys/crying.png" title="Cry" alt="Cry" class="smiley-content" /></p> Sat, 22 Mar 2003 11:53:08 +0000 Renegade comment 1127685 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/html-css-and-javascript/div-width-problem#comment-1127677 <p>take out the z-index:1; (even the position:relative; isn't needed)</p> Sat, 22 Mar 2003 09:42:25 +0000 Busy comment 1127677 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net https://www.webmaster-forums.net/html-css-and-javascript/div-width-problem#comment-1127670 <p>You can use IE as an FTP client.
