CCS/DHTML layers on MAC IE5.2

[samiech]

Hello,
I have the following script which is working fine on PC IE
and Netscape, but on MAC IE 5.2 is not working.

This is the script (just a simple layer):

<div style="position:absolute; left:33px; top:281px;
width:330px; height:230px; filter:alpha(Opacity=100);
overflow:auto">
content over here.
</div>

Can somebody help me with this? Or is there an other script which is
compatible with MAC?

Thanks!!

I can see now that the script is not printed on my first mail.

This is the script (just a simple layer):


&lt;div style="position:absolute; left:33px; top:281px;
width:330px; height:230px; filter:alpha(Opacity=100);
overflow:auto"&gt;


&lt;/div&gt;

I'm pretty sure the reason you're having trouble is filter is not valid CSS for HTML.

Filter is meant for SVG graphics in general, and the method you're using it for isn't actually supported by the official CSS standard when applied to HTML. It's one of those 'features' implemented in PC IE and not much else.

Check the W3C for the official standards, which are much more reliable to code for.

If you're really into doing stuff in CSS, then you should definitely invest in something like the O'Reilly CSS Reference; it covers all of the custom functions different browsers have and those that aren't compatible with anything else...
