Div background image overlapping in IE7; works in FF
I'm having a problem with IE rendering correctly. I'm experimenting with using all div's in my pages now, and I'm not very familiar with the quirks of IE.
I have created a sample page, and I'm really confused as to what is going on in IE. FF renders the page exactly as I expect. IE renders the page with everything in the correct location, but it seems to double the background image for a sub-div section that is moved up using a negative margin (#menu { ... margin-top: -200px; ... }). Also, this "duplicate background" seems to "flicker" on and off in certain areas, but part of it is always there. (I think there may be more than one duplicate?)
To view what's happening, check it out in FF, and then in IE:
example.com/HTML
example.com/CSS
I have very little code, and I'm not sure what is the relevant part:
CSS:
And here is the HTML:
Any help is GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!
