    I have an issue in IE7 using absolute positioning on a div. I wish I can change the positioning to relative but right now I cant (its my companies website). anyway here is the page: (view in ie7) http://brinked.com/artnet/ie/iebug.html

    sometimes it shows, sometimes it doesnt...here is the style for that box:

    .helpbox {
left:815px;
position:absolute;
top:150px;
width:215px;
}
    Code (markup):
    anybody have any suggestions for this bug?

    thanks

    Why are you position the box rather than floating it? Try this, and let me know if it works for you. I've not checked your code, so I'm assuming that the wrapper/container ends at the help box's edge at it's current position. If it's set to 100% width, then this may not work for you.

    
.helpbox {
float: right;
width: 215px;
}
