[thelist] CSS Border Problem

[Jay Turley]

Hi all y'all-

I have a style in my page as shown below: 

<style type="text/css">
  #searchBox {
  	position: absolute;
  	top: 5px;
  	left: 5px;
  	width: 300px;
  	height: 100px;
  	clip: rect(0px 300px 100px 0px);
  	background-color: #ffffcc;
  	layer-background-color: #ffffcc;
  	visiblity: visible;
  	border: 1px solid #000000;
  	z-index: 1;
  	display : block;
  	overflow : hidden;
  }
</STYLE>

When I use this div:

<div id="searchBox"></div>

In IE the border completely surrounds the div, but in NS, the border flows 
with the content, moving up if the content does not fill the div, and 
moving below the clipping rectangle if the content overflows the div. Do 
any of you have any suggestions as to how I can make NS support this border 
properly? Or am I going to have to end up using nested tables ala Zeldman 
to make these look proper (which of course incurs its own problems as NS 
does not support the height attribute on the table tag).

Thanks
