Just to mention a potential problems with the "overflow: auto/hidden" method: It ruins layouts where one deliberately places elements over the edges of the container, as one either gets a scrollbar or the overflowing elements get cut off. That's why I don't use it much, as I quite often position elements over or completely outside the container-edges. I'd hate not being able to do that :-) One needs the whole clear-and-contain tool-box to cover all design-cases, as no single method covers them all. The "easyclearing" method is an excellent addition to "Block formatting"... <http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visuren.html#block-formatting> ..."hasLayout"... <http://www.satzansatz.de/cssd/onhavinglayout.html> ...and solid clearers. regards Georg -- http://www.gunlaug.no ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] 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/
