Question

The “Go” submit button wont display in ie7 until I tick the rule on and off again in the developer tools.

<div id="footerNewsletter">

                <p><?php echo $text_newsletter_signup; ?></p>
                <form method="post" action="" onsubmit="cm_signup(); return false;">
                    <input name="Email" id="Email" value="<?php echo $text_email_address; ?>" type="text" onclick="this.value='';" />
                    <?php /*<a href="#" id="newsletterSubmit" ><span><?php echo 'Go'; ?></span></a> */ ?>

                    <input class="newsletter-submit" type="submit" name="Name" value="Go" />
                </form> 

                <p id="nl_return"></p>
      </div>

and the CSS

#footerNewsletter {
background: #a29061;
width: 274px;
height: 46px;
color: #fff;
float: left;
padding: 8px 13px;
margin-left:20px;
position:relative;

bottom:19px !important;
}
.newsletter-submit:hover {

color: #54301a !important;
cursor:pointer;
}

Its fine in all other browsers, thanks for your help.

Answer 1

You’re combining a float on the input along with trying to position it absolutely.

Have a look at changing that to just one method and see if it helps.
