I have an issue in IE8 where my div is displayed about 50px closer to the top than in FF or Chrome, or IE9. I think I have narrowed it down to it being the position absolute. I am declaring an HTML5 doctype, but still facing this issue. It also occurs for position: relative.

 

#slider {
	position: absolute;
	margin-left: 315px;
	margin-top: -350px;
	z-index: 1;
}

 

Any easy solution to get around this?

Explicitly set 'top' (or 'bottom') and 'left' (or 'right')

I tried that, but left won't work for different window sizes. How do I solve that?

Not enough information to say.

It works with top, do I really need left or right? Is vertical placement enough?

Test cross-browser. If it is the same, you don't need it. If it's not, you do.
