Looks like absolute positioning problems?
BTW: view source is also quite broken on this page. Please transfer to rickg
when done for that.

There are at least two parser problems that are causing things to get screwed
up.

The first problem is that DIV tags aren't nesting like they should. Here's a
small subset of the HTML that demonstrates that problem. The second problem can
be seen if you remove the FORM tag enclosing the SELECT element. That causes all
of the various OPTION text to just become text inside of the second DIV

Here's the HTML:

<html>
<head><title>HotBot</title>

<style>
#text2 {font-family:Verdana,Arial,Geneva; font-size:12px}
#searchFont {font-family:courier,new-courier,monospace; font-size:11px}

.searchContent{
top:59px;
left:0;
width:202px;
position:absolute;
border-color:#FF0000 ; border-right-style:solid; border-right-width:3px;
background-color:#99FF33;
layer-background-color:#99FF33;
z-index:10;
padding-left:6px;
float:left;
}
.redBox1{
font-size:14px;
color:#FFFFFF;
border:1px none red; layer-background-color:#FF0000; background-color:#FF0000;
width:175px;
padding-bottom:2px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body text=#000000 link=#3333CC vlink=#660099 bgcolor=#FFFFFF>
<div CLASS="searchContent" ID="searchFont">
<div ID="text2">
<form>
<SELECT name="SM" >
<OPTION value="MC" selected>all the words
<OPTION value="SC">any of the words
<OPTION value="phrase">exact phrase
<OPTION value="title">the page title
<OPTION value="name">the person
<OPTION value="url">links to this URL
<OPTION value="B">Boolean phrase
</SELECT>
</form>
</div>
</div>

</body></html>

Peter, I think this is yours now. CSS appears to be coming through.
Also, can you comment on what you saw with view-source? It looks pretty good to
me.

Still some positioning problems. I think the style data is OK.
Still problems with view source. I sent seperate data to rickg on that.

There's still at least one problem with the parser. And that INPUT element in
the upper-left corner looks like a parser problem as well...

Case #1:
<html>
<head><style>
.redBox2{
color:#FFFFFF;
border: 1px none red; layer-background-color:#FF0000; background-color:#FF0000;
padding:2px;
padding-right:3px;
width:10px;
}
</style></head>
<body>
<div CLASS="redBox2" ID="text2">
<input type="SUBMIT" name="submit" value="SEARCH" ID="searchFont">
</div>
</body>
</html>
Status: NEW → ASSIGNED
