Hi David and Georg, many thanks for you replies and help, I really appreciate the pro assistance. :)
> A clickable link to the specific page in question to the list is > always to your advantage. Or, is it? Doh! Sorry about that. I actually do have a demo page, but for some reason I didn't post a link to it. "Clearing floats in IE 7 and below..." <http://jsbin.com/odoreq> A few interesting things to note: 1. In IE7 (and probably below, I did not check IE6), when the floats were not contained by a parent div, I got about 50px of a gap between top and bottom floats. I eventually found this helpful page: <http://www.brunildo.org/test/IEFloatClearPadding.html> ... which describes the problem; I needed a container div. I had never run into this bug before - then again, I normally have containers around my floats (If it was not for putting together a simple demo page, I probably would have never discovered this interesting bug.) 2. At one point, this bit of info helped: "IE 7 clear:both not working" <http://www.keyboardface.com/archives/2010/03/16/ie-7-clearboth-not-working/comment-page-1/> ... but it felt like more of a mysterious hack than an actual fix. 3. Interestingly enough, IIRC, if #stuff <div> has "clear:both", and there's a "float:right" preceding it, then everything works great... "clear:both" fails if the the float above is floated right. I think this page describes the problem: <http://www.brunildo.org/test/IEWfc3.html> "A float having the clear property (value both) only clears preceding floats of its same direction (left/right.)" ... Now, that's good to know. :D ----- Thanks for the tips Georg! So you're saying: #stuff { /* ... */ clear: both; /* Causes bugs in IE < 8. */ *clear: none; } (I know, it's a hack... For the sake of demo, I hope ya'll don't mind.) The above sounds good to me! In fact, I think my gut was telling me to do this at one point, but in every browser I tested (sans IE < 8) not having "clear:both" worked, so I figured it was superfluous (in this test case, that is). On the other hand, having "clear:both" don't hurt none, so what the heck, right? :D Thanks again folks! I really appreciate the help!
