Question

absolute positioned element not getting 100% height

Answer 1

A:

Try setting a height to your wrapper div.

Edit: IE doesn't like z-index: 0; so set that to 1 and adjust your other indexes accordingly, also why not just use a background image in the style?

i can't give wrapper an height 'cause its content changes in every page and with min-height doesn't work either.

i use an img because i need it to stretch all along its container, if i use a bg image i can't do that (i think).also i used z-index:0 so that i don't need to give a z-index to all the following elements to be displayed over the image.Anyway i set the z-index correctly and it doesn't work yet

Do you have a live example? Also, the `z-index` thing I told you about was just a general IE fix, wasn't intended to fix your problem, just thought I should let you know.

the problem with explorer is that it inherits the page height as it was its parent..

Your image is borken and I really am not sure what you're asking about, everything seems fine here.

Kyle Sevenoaks 2010-05-25 07:21:21

hi kyle..actually the problem only exists in explorer 7..that's what i'd like to get to. If you try the page in that browser you will see the difference between ie7 and the rest.
