Hello all, im building a web site, Adaptaco LLC || Home Page || Adapt-A-Hook and everything looks fine in FireFox but in IE the whole center section is just a black box. i'm assuming this has something to do with my CSS but i'm not sure. Thanks for your Help, -HogDog.

It looks like to me that the content is there but it is covered up with
the black background image. (Click on the links in IE and notice that
the content flashes real quick before the image loads.)

Try taking that image out and see what happens...

div.info_box {
width: 307px; height: 223px; 
position: absolute; left:135px; top:142px; 
background-image:  url(images/1_10.gif); 
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

See if you can see the text when you take this out. IF you can then you
know where the problem is. Then I'm guessing that you can mess
with the z-index to get the image below the text.

Someone may have a hack for this that I don't know about...
This will give you a place to start.

That doesn't seem to be the problem, i removed that bit of code and it had the same effect in IE. Thanks for the help tho.

When you display this page in IE you CAN see the flash..!!??

What is the difference between how you are displaying the html content
and the flash content. This may give you some insight as to what to do...

Thanks for your help but the problem is solved. What happened was, I accidentally put my <p class="legal"> tag inside of my <div class="nav_bar> tag which has a black background. And since the nav bar is at the top and my page and the legal info is at the bottom it covered the whole thing with the div's black background. Now I just have to get the Rollovers to work in IE.

Not sure but I think there is a IE hack for CSS rollovers

There is no need for 'hacks' unless you are trying to apply a rollover on an element OTHER than a link. The cure for that problem is not a hack, it's a bit of scripting called csshover.htc.

Thanks for the help I have always used hacks for IE but then again I am kinda a newbie with CSS.
