scrolling area

[vlitim]

I am using the below code as the start of a scrolling area. Now the problem is netscape. it works fine in ie but only works in netscape if you change the "position:relative;" to "position:absolute;" ! I need to use relative positioning and don't understand why it won't work in netscape?!?! Any help please!?

#divUpControl {position:relative; left:0px;top:5px; width:0px;height:30px; z-index:1; text-align: right}
#divDownControl {position:relative; left:0px; top:260px; width:0px;height:30px; z-index:1;text-align: right}
#divContainer {LEFT: 15px; VISIBILITY: hidden; OVERFLOW: hidden; WIDTH:320px; CLIP: rect(10px 320px 270px 0px); POSITION: relative; TOP: 10px; HEIGHT: 320px}
#divContent {LEFT: 0px; POSITION: relative; TOP: 0px}

I don't think we can help you. From my limited knowledge, I believe NS will not work with rel. positioning. I hope I'm wrong. Kevin

Possible work-around -

Absolute Positioning works from the next block element up, not the body. Usually, the body is the next element up, but a properly defined DIV will do the job. Might prove useful if you cant avoid absolute positioning,
