    Hello. I am having a problem with my divs lining up in a website I am building. Here is the link http://nvisionize.com/SCA/. Everything lines up correctly in FF3, IE7, and Safari4, but when I open up the site in IE6 the structure is getting shifted down some how (starting with the search bar). I’ve tried some of the suggestions used in this forum, but can’t get things lined up correctly. I’ve tried replacing margin/padding with top, bottom, right, left when using position (relative, absolute). I’ve tried display:inline after using float (left, right). So I’m kind of lost. Any suggestions (with an example, please) would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

    this worked for a psoblem I had with a wordpress sidebar for IE6 & 7

    Big thanks ikthius. That did the trick. I placed overflow:hidden on a few div’s I had position:relative on. A little tweak here and there and everything lined up. Now I just have to figure out why my search button is not transparent (like the rest of the site). So for now I’ll use a gif (isn’t pretty) instead of a png. Thank you ikthius and the forum for you expert advise.

    when things don’t line up right and you know you have done nearly everything right, it is normally always an overflow problem, so hide it to test it…. Glad it sorted

    IE6 does not support transparency……. you will need to find a hack for IE6 to show transparency, but they are abundant if you search google
