I am stumped on this one....I have an email sign up form on domain1.com. It shows in every browser but IE7...I put the exact same form on a test page in another location and it shows...something is up with the css but what?

test page is domain1.com/test.html
 
Try fixing your invalid HTML. You have duplicate IDs on your form element and invalid markup for the DOCTYPE you are using:


It's pointless debugging any further until you know that these are not causing the problem.

Hope this helps,

P.S. Is Mimi really mad?

In fact, why bother having the second form at all? Given the "sign up" form is in the same place on every page, why do you even need to have another copy? It's not like the user won't have had ample chance to have seen it...

Also, one thing about your CSS piques my interest: What is the following line for?:

Code:
input {overflow: visible;}

Given the only inputs you have are the sign up form inputs, what does this do that I might be missing?

It ended up being the fact that the nav menu had a position relative and the form was floated as was the image div. The form was under the nav menu. Once I put a div around it and floated it all was well.

The second form element was a TEST to see if the css was causing it in the location where it WASN't showing and it was...hence the name test.html

As for the input tag you caught it in a test upload..I was testing to see if was related to another ie bug on forms.

Thanks though...
 
Perhaps ensuring your test harnesses validate would be a good thing - otherwise you are bound to get people advising you of things that are unnecessary. This not only frustrates you, but frustrates the people giving their time when it needn't have been given at all.
