this hack is only going to keep working if IE7 either doesn't
support the ">" operator (which I think it does), or if it doesn't
have peekaboo (which I don't know).
OK, to follow up on my previous post (which hasn't shown up here
yet), all the reports I could find on the web indicate that IE7 *has*
fixed peekaboo, which means either they are wrong, or this bug isn't
peekaboo after all.

I think that you may have found an undocumented variety of Peekaboo -
normaly, peekaboo shows up when you have a float followed by (and
touching) a clear. In this case, it shows up when you have a
position:absolute followed by & touching a clear. At the very least, I
know it's something I've never heard about before.

I thought it might be a new version of the bug, so being the good
citizen I am, I tried reporting it using their bug feature. Boy, what a
waste of time!! I gave up in the end and decided to let someone who has
more hours spare than me work out how to report a bug!!

As I mentioned in another post, I did work around the problem by moving
the header below the footer in the HTML. This isn't ideal, but it's not
such a terrible compromise, and it seems to work in all browsers.

Thanks for the reply.
