Do you still think I do not need .clearfix even though > threecolwrap wraps three left floated columns? Don't take my word for it. Try removing the class="clearfix" from the html and see what happens. If your target browsers render the page properly without that, you don't need it. The clearfix technic is used to emulate ie's "make elements tall enough to contain floated children" misbehavior in more standards compliant browsers. Because #threecolwrap is floated, it will already do that without the clearfix. If #threecolwrap were not floated you would need the clearfix to keep column 1 from poking out the bottom. hth -- Roger Roelofs "Remember, if you’re headed in the wrong direction, God allows U-turns!" ~Allison Gappa Bottke ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
