Problem with Position Absolute in Ie7, Div Moves 10Px to The Right

Problem with position absolute in ie7, div moves 10px to the right

Add position:relative to #center and then left:0px to #menu.

Absolutely positioned elements are positioned relative to their closest positioned parent. It's best to give the items you want to position a left/right and top/bottom coordinate to prevent weird results like the one you found.

Absolute positioned div jumps outside containing div in IE7

Heading Margins

try with this

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />

The <p></p> Tag with attribute line-height could not be rendered well in ie 7 or min version

Removing or replacing tag with a div could solve the problem, if problem persist you can use the gif spacer.. alway works :P

Absolute Position

ops.. I forgot
try to add in .porttxtbox left:0;

Is better for specification typing the orizontal rule left:0; of a position:absolute, so there is no rendering fail with some browser, see ie7 or min version.

ie7 - relatively positioned div does not scroll in its container

The quick and dirty fix would be to add position:relative; to the container with the overflow:auto; property.

Though, I would strongly suggest you consider rethinking your layout to not rely on position absolute/relative and instead use floats if possible.

Position absolute in ie7, alert box move to right align

In your CSS, .notification-bubble, you have defined the margin twice (margin:10px auto; and margin-left:62px;). Try to delete them and just type : left:62px

Bottom and right absolute positioning not working on IE

Whenever you're setting styles for a fixed number of pixels, make sure to put 'px' after the number.

#gallery_slide > p
{
   bottom: 50px;
   right: -20px;
}

I assume that's what you meant to do here. In other cases, you might prefer to use a percentage, so your unit would be '%'. For ems, use 'em', and so on.

Position Absolute div inside position relative list item - Clipping issue - ie7

Add a wrapper element

Updated Demo

If editing the HTML source code is an option, add a wrapper element around the side content, and place it before the main text content. Then add position:relative to the wrapper element rather than adding it to .listitem. This moves the local stacking context (created at an inconvenient time in IE7) to an element where it does no harm.

HTML

<div class="container">
    <div class="listitem">
        <div class="wrapper">
            <div class="layer">I'm a layer</div>
        </div>
        Some long content here bla bla blaaaaaaa bProblem with Position Absolute in Ie7, Div Moves 10Px to The Rightaaa
    </div>
    ....
</div>

CSS

.listitem {
    /* position: relative; */   /* Removed here */
    ....
}
.wrapper {
    position: relative;    /* Added here */
    height: 0;
}

jQuery

If editing the HTML source code isn't an option, there are a few options available using jQuery.

1. Take the basic approach presented by @avrahamcool (setting the z-index of each .listitem to a decreasingly small value). The downside to this approach is that it reverses the layering order of the side elements relative to one another, which may or may not be acceptable.

2. Use jQuery to edit the HTML DOM so that the HTML is as shown above, using the related CSS changes as well. The downside to this approach is that the styling of the content won't render correctly until after the jQuery code has run. So the content may briefly appear broken when the page first loads.

3. Set .container to position:relative, rather than .listitem. Use jQuery to calculate the relative position of each of .listitem element within .container, and set the top position of each side element based on this. This approach has the same downside as solution #2.

4. In an extreme case, if even editing the JavaScript isn't an option, you could simulate solution #1 by adding a series of increasingly long CSS selectors with decreasing z-index values (as shown below). I don't recommend this approach, as it's wildly impractical, but it could be used as a last resort.

CSS

.listitem {z-index:99;}
.listitem + .listitem {z-index:98;}
.listitem + .listitem + .listitem {z-index:97;}
...

Conclusion

In short, the current HTML doesn't support this type of layout in IE7. The only elegant solution is to change the HTML source code to something that does support it. Any jQuery solution will tend to be awkward in one way or another.

IE7 positioning problems (absolute and fixed positioning for top bar that stays in place)

Sounds like the bug described here: http://www.quirksmode.org/bugreports/archives/2007/03/ie7_positionfixed_and_margin_top_bug.html

imagine you want a fixed layer at the top of your page and all which
follows to scroll UNDER that layer.

Apparently explorer 7 is unable to
calculate a top margin for a 'position:relative' div which follows a
'position:fixed' one with higher z-index. The second layer will just
stick to the top of the page no matter which marin-top (sic) you define for
it.

What worked for me was to remove the margin-top: 200px from dfncontainer and add it instead as padding-top to body. However, while that fixes the layout (as far as I can tell) in IE7, it adds too much padding in IE8 and IE9 (haven't tested other browsers), so it looks like an IE7-only stylesheet is necessary.

For the guillemots, I found this Stack Overflow question/answer that seems to be a viable fix:

.list-box OL LI {
    position: relative;
}

.list-box .guillemot {
    /* <<delete these rules>>
      float: right;
      margin-right: 7px;
    */
    position: absolute;
    right: 7px;
}

The good news is that fix appears to work in IE8 and IE9 as well, so you probably don't need the conditional stylesheet.

The position of the X button in the "See Also" box can also be positioned using a combination of position: absolute and top and right instead of floating to get a consistent behavior.

Absolute positioning error in Internet Explorer 11

try adding position:relative to the containing elements of div#corner, .container and/or .page-content

position:relative on a containing element sets the bounds of an absolutely positioned element equal to the parent element, rather than the whole page.

so a value of left:0px isn't equal to the top left side of the page, but the left side of the parent element.

It is somewhat surprising this only occurs in ie11 though as its a pretty straightforward issue which makes me suspect that there could easily be a secondary solution, but then again, having had to support IE since ~ie6 I guess I'm not really all that surprised if its just IE sucking.
