That does indeed allow the header to float beside the Japanese text, but then the bottom border on the header goes all the way to the left again, through the Japanese text. :(
Interestingly, another user of the list here emailed me (thank you Tim) to say that this problem wasn't present in an earlier "Platform Preview" build of IE9 (1.9.7766.6000, which is basically 9.0.7766.6000), a build that lacks support for the html5 audio tags (and thus shows their alt text), but my slightly more recent "Platform Preview" build (1.9.7874.6000 / IE9 v.9.0.7874.6000) does show the float problem (and has working audio tags). You can replicate this behavior that Tim saw in his Platform Preview by telling the IE9 beta to use IE8 Standards Mode as the Document Mode (under developer tools). This still appears to be a bug... possibly with how the overflow is handled? And one that was apparently introduced between those builds (and is still present in 9.0.7930.16406). It works correctly in IE8, and in every other current "major browser" I've tried. Firefox 4.0b8pre nightly, Chrome 9.0.597.0 dev, Opera 10.63, and Safari 5.0.3, and I don't see how I am doing anything wrong by using overflow:hidden in that instance. What I really want to determine is whether or not this was an actual error on my part, or an actual bug in IE9, and from what I can tell, it appears to be the latter. Thank you for the response. :) > This part here. > > <h4 style="font-size:11px;overflow:hidden;border-bottom:1px solid > #e9e9e9;margin:0px auto > 2px;padding:0px;font-weight:normal;color:#c0c0c0;line-height:11px;">meaning(s)</h4> > > > Remove the overflow:hidden and the header will float beside the あぶない > 危ない text. > -- 猿も木から落ちる ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
