IE7 not expanding div correctly - html

I am trying to get an expanding div to appear correctly in IE7. What is happening, is that the div will appear behind the button instead of pushing the div down to accommodate the textarea box. I have tried combinations of clear, position, but still the same. Can someone check my code and point out my error. It works fine in IE8 & FF (Even IE6 :-)) just 7 that is causing problem. Many thanks
Demo code: http://jsfiddle.net/P5NQt/3/

Remove the height property from the .fb-input-right-conradio-back rule.

Something else (irrelevant to the original issue), i would suggest you wrap the Yes text in a <label> with a for attribute, so the the whole text will act as a button for the checkbox..
<label for="messagetick2">Yes</label>

Text outside div in Safari only

I have this bug that let some text appear a few pixels outside a div on the right side. The strange thing is that it only happens in Safari. I've never seen it before and it's just regular HTML/CSS what I have used. I've looked around on the internet but I can't find the exact same problem - only some problems with content floating out at the bottom, because of a fixed height.
In the next 2 screenshots you'll see the same page in Safari and Chrome. The div has a overlow:hidden to hide a possible third line of text. I added fixed widths when trying to solve the problem. I also tried to add/remove some margins, but I can't get rid of the extra pixels.
Here is a full link to this page. It happens in this section of the website only. In other sections - like this one - where I use the same format with little differences, but the same CSS idea (fixed width with overflow:hidden), there is no bug in Safari.
I hope you have some ideas!
Removing position:absolute from
div#branch-search-results-block div.search-result-right div.search-result-drvl-info-bottom .spacer::after
css style solves the issue. But I am not sure what else is affected by it. Please try this.

Input form padding doesnt work in IE

I am trying to add padding-right to an input so that I can place an image in that corner and not have the text flow behind it. It works fine in Chrome & Firefox but not in IE.
I have seen people recommend using float:left; but still it doesnt work.
See the problem here: http://jsfiddle.net/4zRRt/
That is not how you want to do that (probably, I am guessing, the button image doesn't work for me obviously).
I am guessing you want an input with a nice submit button which is always on the right.
This is done with a parent relative element and the button who is absolute with a right offset of 10px (to accomedate for the extra space the shadow requires). And a top set to 0...
Here is a jsfiddle of that:

I put some extra display:block; in there to make the inputs block instead of inline, this will prevent other rendering problems too.

Text indent and manual width/height so its position fit into the background image [not in IE]

I have the typical image with logos and i am styling it as an <ul> when each <ul li a> will have text-indent to hide the anchor and manual width so it's position fits to the one in the footer background image,
works great in firefox and chrome but for some reason it looks horrible in Ie,
does anyone know why??
Posted an example of my problem http://jsfiddle.net/r5Pda/1/
It does not look exactly as in my project but i guess if we solve it here i will be able to,
any clue here?
thanks
I think it is known IE bug: absolutely positioned floating element displays oddly sometimes. Try to fix it according to these experiments.

IE7 / IE8 Compatibility View: Element on page shifts to correct position when ANY css changes

I have an extremely strange problem in IE that I can't seem to track down. I have two boxes, both floated left, with a margin-left on the right box to give some spacing between the two. In Firefox (of course), it all displays correctly, but in IE when the page is first loaded, the boxes have no separation (no margin).
Here's the crazy part. If ANY CSS changes on the page at all, the box magically jumps to the correct position. And when I say any, I mean any. I modified the final font name of 3 in the font-family list of the body tag, and the box shifted to the correct position (this wasn't a change that would even modify the look of anything on the page).
I could post my HTML and CSS on the page, but it's fairly routine. I just wondered if anyone had come across or heard of this problem in the past? Incidentally, IE8 seems to render it fine.
Thanks.
Follow-Up:
So I was able to at least patch the problem by floating the box on the right to the right, and removing its margin-left property. Because my container div is just wide enough to accommodate the two boxes, this works for my situation, but it wouldn't be nearly as nice if the two boxes weren't contained so tightly in their container div.
Older versions of IE can be pretty buggy about how they handle floats. Try defining a width on your floated elements. This will help make the layout more explicit (so harder for IE to misunderstand) and trigger hasLayout if you haven't already (a weird internal IE property that causes a lot of layout bugs).

Internet Explorer 7 css/html float bug

The problem is a footer on a web page that seem to not follow the correct flow like it does in FireFox. The problem feels like it is an Internet Explorer related bug, because the layout will "magically" snap into place when i move the mouse over the link "Legg til i handlelisten". On pages where the "description" part of the page is longer then the left column, the footer displays correctly. From what I can gather the bug is only active in IE8 when its running in "IE8 Compatibility Mode" or "IE7 mode". I am not able to recreate the bug when running IE6.
I was wondering if anyone is able to find a solution to this bug, maybe some CSS property I can set or a tag that needs modification.
These two images show the error and what its supposed to look like:

Edit: Clear: both; doesnt seem to do anything to solve the problem.
Yes... it looks like a float-caused problem.
Try adding this line into your HTML, just before the footer:
<div style="clear: both;"></div>
I think it is expecting an item that clears the floats.
Try floating the div.container or remove it, as it is useless and a mild case of divitis.
In older browsers, the float property in CSS removes the height from the element. Therefore an element which is floated to the left or right which would normally have a height of say 100px would now have a height of 0px and whatever content is below it would move up to fill that space where the content is supposed to be. Most browsers have fixed that error by now, but it still reappears in even the modern browsers. There is a very simple fix that you can add to your footer container in the CSS:
clear: both;
This will cause the element to clear any boxes that may be floating around and start fresh on its own line, or should anyways. It never hurts to try.
Read more about the clear property: http://www.w3schools.com/Css/pr_class_clear.asp
What happens exactly is that the left column gets shorter by a line when you hover the first link in the leggtilihandleliste div, and it gets longer by a line again when you hover the second link. It's only the left column div that is affected, not the link, the list containing the links or the div containing the list.
I don't know exactly why this is happening, but if you specify a height for the div containing the links, it stops happening (eventhough it's not that div that changes size).
Why does DIV#footer have display:none on it?
Anyway, if you float: left on .footerWithRightAndLeft you should be ok.
You can inspect things in IE if you hit F12, in case you didnt know. It's not as good as firebug, but it's something.
