R – Sometimes need to double click links

Sometimes in IE6/7, when an absolute is positioned next to a float, the absolute will disappear.

In your css you have .1header floated left and immediately following .header_text is positioned absolute.

Try setting .header_text to position:relative. Or put an empty div between .1header and .header_text. Or wrap the div .header_text in another div.

BTW - CSS class names must start with an underscore (_), a dash (-), or a letter(a-z). Starting a class name with a digit is invalid but I don't know if it makes a difference to IE in this case or not.

I am pretty sure that it is a css issue. Remove the <h1>...<h4> with the sifr in #header_text. Add <h1>test</h1>. In the CSS, add 'background-color:#00c;' on #header_text.

Look at it in firefox. You should see a red test on a blue background. Look in IE, you won't.

On #header_text change position:absolute to position:relative. Look in IE, the red test with blue background should show up (not where you want it but that's another issue).

Make sure to not replace the <a> directly, but replace its parent element.
