Subject: [WSG] Two columns, one fluid one fixed?Hey Guys
Got a simple one, but can't seem to get my head round it....
I'm after a 2 column setup, one fixed width and the other fluid. I can get the following code to work in IE 5, 5.5 and 6, but not in Safari, Mac IE 5.2 and Firefox...<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
<style>
#container{
text-align: left;
margin: 0;
width: 100%;
}
#centrecontent {
float: left;
border: 1px solid red;
}
#right {
width:182px;
float:right;
border: 1px solid blue;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container">
<div id="right">
Eant et fugiant a te inquieti iniqui. et tu vides eos et distinguis umbras, et ecce pulchra sunt cum eis omnia, et ipsi turpes sunt. et quid nocuerunt tibi? aut in quo imperium tuum dehonestaverunt, a caelis usque in novissima iustum et integrum? quo enim fugerunt, cum fugerent a facie tua? aut ubi tu non invenis eos? sed fugerunt, ut non viderent te videntem se, atque excaecati in te offenderent</div>
<div id="centrecontent">

</html>I'm pretty sure it's something simple, but it's the end of the day and I can't spot it! Any ideas? I need to keep the the :float: left;" in the "#centrecontent"
Thanks in advance...
