ASP.NET button issue...

Hello all,

I have a little problem with asp:button and css with internet explorer. My code for the button looks like:

Code:

<asp:Button CssClass="search" id="btnSearch" runat="server" Text="Search"
OnCommand="btnSearch_Click" CommandName="search"></asp:Button>

.

the css "search" looks like:

Code:

.search
{
position:absolute;
top:132px;
left:603px;
}

.

The problem is on Internet Explorer the button looks stretched out, and all I wanted the css to do is position the button on the page. On Firefox the button is positioned correctly and appears the way it should.

Any know what I am doing wrong here?

Thanks.

Try setting the width in CSS

Code:

.search
{
position:absolute;
top:132px;
left:603px;
width: 150px;
}

Hello Jason,

Thanks for your reply. I actually changed the position to relative from absolute and that worked, which I thought was interesting.
