Let me begin by saying I am very new to DNN so bear with me.

The website I am working on is using a custom skin. On the top of the page there is a background image which contains the company logo and contact info. There is also a banner sitting on top of that. The company logo area is supposed to link back to the home page and contact into is suppose to open a mailto.Both of those features work flawlessly in Firefox chrome etc. but in IE6/7/8 the links are stripped from the page and the banner does not show up.

Inside the skin.ascx file we are using some code like this for the links.

    <a id="homeLink" href="http://www.website.com" title="Home" style="border: 0;"><span class="hide">Home</span></a>
    <a id="emailLink" href="mailto:info@website.com" title="Email" style="border: 0;"><span class="hide">Email us</span></a>

And in the CSS we tell it where to put those links

#homeLink {
    float: left;
    position: absolute;
    width : 300px;
    height: 60px;
    left: 0px;
    top: 25px;
}
#emailLink {
    float: left;
    position: absolute;
    width : 110px;
    height: 15px;
    left: 70px;
    top: 140px;
}

The guy who was originally working on the website was suppose to fix thse issues is gone for a month and the project has been thrown on me. He did tell me the following "I just discovered that DNN is causing most of the problems below in IE. The top "invisible" form DNN uses on every page removes the top banner". I am not sure what that means but if you guys can help me out that would be fantastic.

Again im new to DNN if you need more info just let me know.

you cannot combine position:absolute with float:left, use either one, not both.
