Wooo.... very nearly done styling my forum. Difficult(ish) but fun :)
But I just need a little bit more help before it's finished.

Everything works fine in Safari (with some very minor blemishes in mozilla, which I can tidy up). But there's some small but critical bugs in WinIE (which is hard for me to test in, since I only have a windows machine at work - where I can't work on this!). Both of these problems are isolated to WinIE only.

The forum is located at: http://brilliantgreen.net/forum/

<i>The two things are:</i>


1. The header and menu don't appear in IE

I have them both position:absolute. as you can see in the code below. Both just plain don't display.

.Head {
position: absolute;
background-image : url("../../../images/forum_header.jpg");
top : 0px;
left : 15px;
width : 700px;
height : 340px;}

2. IE misinterpreting 'min-height' as 'height' in CommentBody

I have the body of each comment body set to a minimum height (to take into account avatars). IE locks each comment to that height (ie. if the post is longer, it still cuts the post of at the minimum height. )

.CommentBody {
width: 295px;
min-height: 75px;
_height: 75px;
font-size: 11px;
line-height : 120%;
padding-left: 25px;
padding-bottom: 8px;
padding-top: 0px;
margin-top: 12px;
color: #000000;
overflow: hidden;
z-index: 50;
}

awesome. thanks banzai. that change making the difference makes absolutely no sense - but it is IE we're talking about!!!

and ideas on the min height problem in the commentbody?

Yep. didn't work as is, but removed the height:500px line, and it wored a treat.

YAY!! :D
cheers banzai!
