hi guys -  
i am having an issue with my css and i am hoping someone sees the light on it. my head is really sore from banging it on my desk.

i have thumbnails floating in a page and i am trying to get a little icon to appear over the new entries (see [http://www.eric-powell.com](http://www.eric-powell.com)). the little red “new” icons are supposed to lie up over the top left. it seems to work fine in safari but goes all wacky in ie. i know something isn’t right. my style sheet is here:

[http://www.eric-powell.com/wp-content/themes/epowell/style.css](http://www.eric-powell.com/wp-content/themes/epowell/style.css)

my divs look like this:

```auto
<div id="container">
<img src="http://www.eric-powell.com/wp-content/themes/epowell/images/e.gif" alt="" border="0" width="373" height="115" />
<div id="filter"><strong>filter:</strong> <a href="http://www.eric-powell.com/">all</a> | <a href="http://www.eric-powell.com/websites">websites</a> | <a href="http://www.eric-powell.com/banners">banners</a> | <a href="http://www.eric-powell.com/offline">offline</a> | <a href="http://www.eric-powell.com/music">music</a> 
</div>
<div id="content">
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div class="thumb">
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_excerpt(); ?></a>
<span class="thumbClient"><?php the_title(); ?></span>
</div>
<?php
$days_since = floor((date('U') - get_the_time('U')) / 86400);
if($days_since <= 60) :
?>
<div class="newPost">
<img src="http://www.eric-powell.com/wp-content/themes/epowell/images/new_post_icon.png" alt="" border="0" width="29" height="29" />
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
<br clear="all" /><br />

```

if anyone can save my day i would be so happy happy.

it would make it a lot easier if you didn’t have all absolute paths and posted the actual html (preferably with tabs appropriately inserted).
