The problem here is IE and floats. You can make the design more robust by adding a negative margin on the side column that's equal to its width. But you won't get a perfect solution using percentage widths on the side column, only when using ems or pixels.
Have a look at the samples on this site... http://www.strictlycss.com/examples/fluid-css-layout-with-faux-columns-1.asp On 2/1/07, Jermayn Parker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi yes that worked, however I moved it down to 36% or so I then tested it again in IE and it doesnt break until the window is 750 or so pixels. Is that ok?? >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 31/01/2007 1:29 pm >>> If you reduce the width of the window in FF you get the right column overlapping the left which suggests the maths on the columns doesn't add up which on quick look seems a bit odd because they seem to add up to less than 100%. I changed #sidebar to 39% instead of 40% though and the right column moved back into the correct position, so it might have a similar effect in IE.
