I am using absolute positioning on my webpage to place some text. The problem is that when you view the webpage (on a screen set to 1024x768), you can't see the text because it is too far down. I thought that because there is still more content on the webpage (the text), there would be a scrollbar on the side so that you could scroll down to see the text, but it only does that if there is a table or image down that far. Does anyone know how to fix this problem. To see what I mean, go to and set your screen to 1200x1024 (so you can see the text as it should be) then to 1024x768
 
This will trick MSIE into drawing scrollbars without displaying anything.

I didn't calculate how much you need but it looks like you have a script doing something like that alread.

<span style=&quot;position:absolute;height:2000px&quot;><span style=&quot;visibility:hidden&quot;>.</span></span>

Thanks. I didn't need the
Code:
<span style=&quot;visibility:hidden&quot;>
part though. That made all the content on the page invisible!
