Overlapping Buttons in Firefox - Using HTML/CSS - Works in IE6
I have html that is being ingnored. Here is the snippet:
<%}else{%>
<DIV> <div style="float:right> <DIV CLASS="smallbuttons">
<TABLE WIDTH=100% BORDER=0 CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0>
<TR>
<TD>
<input type="image" src="Images/Save.gif" style="cursor: hand" alt="Save data">
<img src="Images/Cancel.gif" style="cursor: hand" alt="Reset form values" onClick="javascript:reset()">
</TD>
<TD align="RIGHT">
<input type="button" name="E-Mail Notification" value="E-Mail" onClick="javascript:popemail();">
<input type="button" name="Help" value="Help" onClick="javascript:help();">
<img src="Images/Reviewnotes.gif" style="cursor: hand" alt="Create or read review notes for this component" border="0" onClick="javascript:reviewnotes();">
<img src="Images/Comments.gif" style="cursor: hand" alt="Create or read comments for this component" border="0" onClick="javascript:comments();">
<img src="Images/Reports.gif" style="cursor: hand" alt="Go to report page" border="0" onClick="javascript:goto('ReportSelection.jsp?selectedyear=<%=request.getParameter("year") %>&selectedcountry=<%=request.getParameter("country") %>&selectedle=<%=request.getParameter("le")%>&selectedbu=<%=request.getParameter("bu")%>')">
<img src="Images/Home.gif" style="cursor: hand" alt="Go to ITRP home" border="0" onClick="javascript:home();">
<img src="Images/Divisions.gif" style="cursor: hand" alt="Go to business unit home" border="0" onClick="javascript:buhome();">
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</DIV> </DIV> </DIV>
<%}%>
It's using the css Below:
TD {
font-family : Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size : 12px;
color : 330033;
}
.number{
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
text-align: right;
}
.smallbuttons
{
position: absolute;
top: 92px;
float:right;
left: 10px;
}
.regular{
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
}
But the buttons overlap the text. I'm trying to shift the buttons from email etc to the right. Any ideas would be appreciated. This issue causes the text that in IE a row lower to shift up and the buttons overlapp.

The Alt attribute isn't meant to show as a tooltip on hover.
The Alt attribute is meant to show if the image isn't or can't be displayed.
The title attribute is meant to show if you hover an image or link.
If there is no title attribute, but there is an alt attribute then IE will show the alt attribute as a tooltip.
Firefox doesn't do that, so if the title attribute is missing then you do not see a tooltip if you hover an image or link.
