Text selection problem in IE

[Nevermore]

I am having a strange problem with text selection on my site, that seems only to be a problem in Internet Explorer. Basically, you cannot select individual words, it just selects the whole block of text. The problem is only apparent where the text is in paragraphs - when it is a list, their is no such problem. If anyone has any ideas, I'm open to anything. Th HTML is at http://www.evernet.co.uk and the CSS for it, if that is likely to make any difference, is at http://www.evernet.co.uk/mainstyle.css

I'm not incompetent when it comes to HTML, so it annoys me that I am having this problem. Thankyou for your time.

I don't have any problem selecting things in lists displayed in the main div, but I do when they are used as the menu. I'll try it in transitional.

Same problem in transitional. Anyone got any ideas?

I am assuming your entire markup and CSS validates, there is a fair chance "position: absolute" is causing the issue in Micro$oft IE try converting to XHTML and using the XML prologue - it just might work.

I haven't the time to check you CSS syntax today, but that is most likely the issue with the bug ridden M$ browser.

I don't really know anything about XHTML or XML.

Its the style property

position:absolute

in the reset div thats causing this behaviour.
Just wondering if you might have to re think your coding logic.

Unless someone can find a way I can get the DIVs to be where they are now using position:relative (which I can't), then I'm stuck with it.

N.B. The DIV is called 'rest' not 'reset'. I'm not saying that to be nasty to Khalid, I'm sure it was just a typo, its just to avoid confusion.

If anyone is feeling particularly helpful, and is amazingly good with CSS, could they possibly take a look...?

Yep..just plain old freaking typo
