Thanks for your suggestion Jim. I have deployed it on this test page: http://hul.harvard.edu/oisnew/systems/oasis/upload.new.html The floated lists inside the static container no longer drop below the layout when the viewport is narrowed, but now I'm having problems placing text below the container that stays below the container. I imagine this is because the containing div does not have a height calculated for it because the floats aren't really *there*. The cleared div in your example solves the problem in IE but not Firefox. In FF, the clearing div is also clearing the left/right layout columns -- forcing that bottom text below the layout. I assigned a min-height to the container, which seems to help in FF. Jim -- Do you know of a way to clear interior floated content that does not also blow away a floated layout? This has been a regular problem in the layout I'm forced to work within. Thanks for your help! --julie ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
