Thanks for the article. I was facing the same concern on one of the web pages I am working on right now. Since I am from Java/J2EE background, I don’t work on CSS so much.

Thanks again.

This is just what I have been looking for as part of a multiple solution to an IE and Firefox bug. I am toggling between two divs that both contain different text. The first fix was to make sure that position:relative was put into the text layers so that they would inherit their proper z-index from their position in the code. The second fix is this one described on this page, so that those relatively positioned divs will move correctly on page resize for both IE and Firefox. Thanks all.

You’re my hero of the hour! I was going nuts wondering why it was doing that in IE for a site I’m developing. I found this article after Googling the problem - tried the solution, and it works. I hate IE, but without it I’d bill a lot less hours when developing a site.

This bug was driving me nuts until I found your fix - and as an aside - I found this bug was in effect in IE 7 as well (but my page rendered fine in Firefox and Safari, which was what had me stumped). THANK YOU.

Awesome! Thanks for the post. But looks like you need it for your website itself. I resized the window on this article and it was not snapping into place… tsk tsk.
