The login box keeps disappearing when pages are displayed in IE8

[bestmilan]

Hello!

We have a customized skin and our "login box" keeps disappearing when pages are viewed in the Internet Explorer browser.

When we disable the IE7 compatibility header option in admin cp the problem is fix but that solution creates other minor bugs when viewing forum pages in IE8.

Any idea why this is happening and how to find a fix without disabling the compatibility header?

Thank you for any suggestions!!

I think it may be related to this CSS issue with IE7...



6. Disappearing text or images in IE?

IE has a very strange bug where text or background images sometimes disappears from sight. These items are still actually there, and if you highlight everything on screen or hit refresh they'll often re-appear. Kind of strange, huh?
This problem mostly occurs on background images and on text next to a floated element. To remedy the problem, simply insert position: relative into the CSS command for the disappearing element, and for some bizarre reason that'll usually fix the problem. If this doesn't work (it sometimes doesn't), assign a width to the offending element in the CSS and that should fix the problem.

Our login box is displayed over a backround image. Anybody any idea how to fix this bug in IE7 ?

Additional CSS definitions for the login box are:


#vbseo_login {
font-size: 8pt;
color: #ECECEC;
position: absolute;
top: 51px;
right: 20px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 4px;
display: block;
}
