Strange behavior in IE (what else is new)

I’d take a look at the CSS errors first. Things like:

margin-top value : opx

can really mess things up. (I can’t tell you how many times I’ve also used an o instead of a zero.)

Also in my experience with IE, I’ve hit this problem when divs overlap due to IE not being able to figure out how to properly calculate width. When IE can’t figure out width (without overlapping), its solution is to make the elements disappear. This often happens with percentage widths and floats - so it may not be the problem in your case.

Ops yea, my bad. 

It goes off the page when it is maximised in IE @ 1024 x 768

thats fixed now
it was the mix of tableheights and divs that killed IE

This could be the bug that I got:

It was indeed this bug
I fixed it to give my master div width and height values
{width: 900px; height: 100%;}

that did the trick

thanks for the help
