Re: [WSG] Floats dont float - can you see what i've got wrong please?

2005-01-26 Thread Mike Kear
Yeah, I know Bert,  But i did it in a tent, with the sounds of surf in my 
ear, and the smell of cool beverages in my nostrils.Whoever said working 
for yourself was a bad thing!!?   So I didnt have all my reference stuff 
with me, nor access to the net to look up how to do stuff.  I just wanted it 
done as fast as possibled so i could get back down to the beach.

It's a temporary site, to hold the fort while i build him a 'proper' site 
with shopping cart, specification forms for custom quotes etc, so i just 
wanted his existing catalogue content on the web as fast as i could.

Thanks for your help, it fixed the problem.
Cheers

G'day
the page is at http://www.grandchesterdesigns.com.au/Buffets.htm  - I'd 
be REALLY grateful if i could get this page looking proper by the 
weekend,  so if anyone could help me, I'd be most grateful.
Add the following to #menucontainer:
  clear:left;
  float:left;
Remove the following from #content:
  clear:left;
That should fix it.
I won't comment on the use of tables...  OK, I did :-)
Regards

Mike,

In addition I think you need to add 

#menucontainer A {
PADDING-RIGHT: 20px;
 }

Because background image (arrow) in a menu link overlaps with menu text.

Cheers, Irina.
