Re: Text field attribute not showing in IE

Each browser renders slightly differently as you can see. The problem with your current layout is that everythnig has ended up ontop of other bits. If yuo view it in IE7, you'll see that the textarea is present, but over the top of the option images. In IE6, the images are there, but the textfield is hiding behind it and the large image.

With sytle layouts, try to steer clear of absolute positioning unless you have no other choice. It may look like a nice easy option, but you may often be better going into the tempalte code, and moving where the Add to Cart button is dispalyed within teh code, rather than forcing it to a new location using the absolute positioning technique.

As for the current problem of the textarea, you will need to add a few more container divs, clearing breaks, and float some of the elements in order to get the textarea to drop down and display correctly across all platforms.

Sorry to be the bearer of some slightly bad news.
