I have come across a problem with certain machines displaying CSS differently. In this case there is some absolutely positionned text. In 98% of the browsers (all the same build of IE) the text appears fine, but on a couple machines the text overlaps, not badly but it overlaps. Is there a way for me to get around this problem without resorting to using tables or graphics?? Is this related somehow to graphics cards??
 
Is this a CSS problem, or a layers problem? Are you using layers in your HTML,and if so, did you take into account the slightly different display areas of different browsers? I'm no expert with layers, but from what I have done with style sheets there's not a lot there that could cause the position of the text to change.

Just a thought ... sometimes the solution presents itself after a little lateral thinking is applied!

Hope you get sorted.
 
Basically the objects being positionned are text links using the style="position:absolute; left:80;" method of absolutely positionning the link.
 
P.S. ofcourse different links have different left values :)
