Question

Answer 1

A:

If you know that your code works in IE7 you can force IE8 browsers to use IE7 standards by including the following tag inside

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7">

IE 8 will behave exactly like IE7

Thanks, it works but will it be worked on fireFox and safari as well.

I have checked on fireFox, but it gives me the same problem as I am facing the compatibility issue in between IE7 and IE8.

you've gotta treat firefox and IE as separate entities. I think you would most probably be ending with two different styling rules.. one for IE... the other for the rest..

Answer 2

A:

Make sure you have the standard DOCTYPE at the top of the document. IE7 will run in quirks mode without the DOCTYPE, but IE8 will run in standards mode regardless by default.

Try this one:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"&gt;

Keep in mind this must be the first line in the file, before the <html> tag.

Thanks Mr. David. But this statement has been already written there in page.

Answer 3

A:

position:relative alone doesnt really mean anything. position:relative should be applied to parent of the div. and you should put position:absolute instead of relative.
