In the page at http://www.utopolis.lu i've problems to read the text, because
it's on the wrong positions and overlapping.
I'm just an ordinary user and can't help a lot, maybe it's no bug, but this site
works on IE.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. surf to http://www.utopolis.lu with firefox
( 2. surf to http://www.utopolis.lu with IE )
( 3. compare the differences )

Actual Results:  
I can't read the text, because it is overlapping.

Expected Results:  
Displaying the text on the right position

Attachment: testcase

The page defines DIVs of 40px height, when the actual content exceeds 40px.  So
the content overflows out of the DIVs and causes overlap.

Not a browser bug.  The site breaks because it's depending on IE's version of
height, which is buggy.

This problem exists on all Utopolis sites:
http://www.utopolis.be/
http://www.utopolis.fr/
http://www.utopolis.nl/

Incredible for such a big company, that they can't afford employing some good
designers. ;-)

the issue since late Oct'04) ?
