I was hoping someone could help me out here. For the life of me I cannot figure out why the search bar is showing in FF but not in IE. Other than the usual fact that IE sucks!

I have got it positioned absolutely, and I even set the z-index to 999 but it still isn't showing in IE.

Would someone mind taking a look, please?

What version of IE ?

**jim.thornton** · 02-19-2010, 10:24 AM

Currently I have IE 7 installed. I have not tried with IE8 and I'm starting to get to the point of not caring about IE6. I figure anyone still using that peice of crap deserves a messed up view.

Why does it need to de positioned absolutely?

**jim.thornton** · 02-19-2010, 10:41 AM

I tried to position normally but it broke the template I was using and I figured that it would be easier to figure out if it was absolutely. I guess not.

You guessed right

Without doing any real testing I would think that floating it right would suffice.

I have done as suggested and it still is not appearing in IE. This is really weird!

clear your cache

the page looks the same in FireFox 3, Chrome, IE8, Opera 10

It wasn't the cache... I've been playing around with it and discovered that I had the HTML in the wrong place. I moved it and it appeared.

Thanks for the help though!
