Hello All,
I am having a problem with using the
<DIV> tag with NN. The problem can be
seen at:-

http://nzsc.co.nz/testform.html

When a user fills out the form and clicks the
"Quick View" button a table should appear
on the right showing the user what their
entry will look like BEFORE they send it.
This is working in IE but not in NN4.7

I have narrowed it down to the following:-

IF I put

position: absolute

style within the DIV tag the error is gone.

<DIV ID="popupinfo" STYLE="position:absolute; visibility:show;
z-index:1;"></DIV>

However as soon as I remove this style
option in order to let the <DIV> tag be
contained by the table cell, I get a Javascript
error and the table does not show at all.

This block of code I normally use with the
absolute positioning style option and have
had no problems. Now however I want the table
to position the DIV tag.

anyone have any ideas?

 before I have to nail  everything down to the pixels.

Many Thanks
Peter Newton
