IE: Overflowing images in 3 column design not displayed properly

Hi all,

I thought I got along with a 3 column design and CSS. But still IE and
Firefox show images that overflow the center box different.

Please have a look at this example: http://venida.de/test/9boxes.htm &
http://venida.de/test/9boxes.css.

When you look at the image with firefox at 800×600 it hides part of it
because it overflows the containing box. I'd like to get the same
feature in IE, too. Any ideas?

Additionally, what is the correct behaviour (IE or FF)?

Thank you very much and have a nice day!

Thomas

BTW. I put the surrounding div into the markup code for testing purposes
only. I know, it doesn't belong there.

My primary browser setup filtered out the image, my firewalled IE asked
for permission to retrieve something using port 443 which I denied. It
doesn't help if you serve advertising if you want help with your code.

Sorry, but I used an ad example from Google because I thought that might
be an example that is always available. This is just an image. Maybe you
get a different image from what I get in Germany. I uploaded one to my
server and changed to markup. Hope this works better.

Please try again now! TIA!

IE's default overflow behavior is broken.

No can do. IE's overflow handling is incorrect and unfixable.
Add "position: relative" to the .content style. This changes IE's
behavior to a less objectionable mode.

Firefox is correct.
