IE problem with absolute positioning

Hello, I started working on a new site a little while ago and I'm having problems with the layout in IE.
In IE7 when you resize the browser's window, the news articles stay in the same place breaking out of it's containing box.
I've never encounter this problem before, does somebody know how to fix it?

Thanks, Marcelo.

Unless thee is a compelling reason you should stay away from absolute positioning. Layout your design using traditional divs with floats.

that wasn't very helpful. And yes the only reason I'm using absolute positioning is because it's the best way to do that.

i used to use absolute positioning because i never realized there were more than one resolution haha. that was back in the day.

now i use floats which basically you just use css classes such as float:left; and float:right;

just make sure you make an empty div with class of "clear" in it with the css as:

.clear{
clear:both;
}

i hope this helps. you will obviously need to make some changes, but it will be worth it so that your site is completely cross-browser compatible! =]

Absolute positioning can be very useful if used correctly. One thing I found which always seems to help is that you must ensure that the parent container of the absolutely positioned item has a position type of "relative" specified, so that the absolute item is anchored correctly

Where you have <div id="news">

try <div id="news" style="position:relative;">

(or stick that in the stylesheet for neatness)

thanks you guys.
I know about floats and what they do, what we have absolute positioning for a reason, for this kind of stuff floats would be a nightmare.
And I also know that I have to have the parent element set to relative otherwise the element is absolute positioned to the browser's window.

Somebody else told me the solution in a different forum. The problem with my code was that I had set a fixed width and margin-right and left to auto in the body tag, I moved those properties to my wrapper div and it's all good now.

Thanks.
