View Full Version : IE6's magical expanding div box

I have a 30px high box containing my navigation bar. As soon as I add the search box, even though the search box and button are less than 30px high, the height of my box doubles.

But only in IE6, of course.

CSS:
#navbar {
position:relative;
background-color:#a8a9ad;
height:30px;
z-index: 100;
}

HTML:
<div id="navbar">
<ul id="MenuBar1" class="MenuBarHorizontal">
LOTS AND LOTS OF IRRELEVANT NAVIGATION CODE
</ul>
<div align="right">
<form action="/pSearch.php" method="get">
<input name="q" type="text" size="15" />
<input type="submit" value="Search" />
</form></div>

EDIT: So I changed the div align to p align and the size issue was resolved. Unfortunately, that stopped the search box from aligning correctly in Firefox and Safari. Anyone got fixes for these issues?
