hey listees, http://www.ricochet.org/flippingpixels/movies/index.html
On the above page i have a number of definition lists floated across the page. the client (my kid) wants the pictures to align vertically and horizontially. my thinking (or lack thereof) was to float the lists in a container, then stack containers. I posted a page last week that had floated elements in a container, and with a clearing element, i think i got the container to contain the floats. while what i have is functional, and seems to play ok across browser land, i don't understand what is happening. i have wrapped three lists in a container(.wrapper), and stacked the containers. .wrapper has a fixed width, which the floats respect. yet, when i put a border on the wrapper (blue), it appears to collapse between groups. i understand that by floating the lists, they are taken out of the flow... so as there is no content, the container collapses. is this kosher? is there a better way? i had thought that i might use the .wrapper for borders or other styling.... but no chance in the current incarnation. floats and my brain seem totally incompatible. thanks for looking. ron ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
