Cameron, Your problem is the clear you are using for #content1. Mac IE 5 wrongly clears floats inside clearing block elements, and you can't fix it with clear:none;. The easy way to solve it (and to avoid any problems you may encounter by not deploying the float under your navigation bar) is

But #content is the parent of the two floated elements, and clear rules aren't inherited, so it doesn't affect what's nested. Or is this just a MacIE5 bug? -- Cameron Adams W: www.themaninblue.com --- Philippe Wittenbergh [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Jul 20, 2004, at 4:32 pm, Cameron Adams

Re: [WSG] how do I add a navigation type menu in CSS

2004-07-20 Thread Patrick H. Lauke
Two ways that spring to mind: float the menu to the left and leave enough padding on the content's left side to compensate (although this may be flaky in certain situations), or use absolute positioning to put both the menu and the content on the page... Effectively, it's a simple 2 column layout.

Hi Jackie, To the best of my knowledge, you would only use Acronym if the visible text read VDS - the user can only see the acronym, so the acronym tag allows them to mouse-over it and see what it stands for in case they aren't familiar with it. If you are displaying the full name, then I think
