You either need to force the list items to all occupy the same height, by
using a fixed height, or use a server-side counter that sets clear: left
on every Nth item.

Thanks for your replies. Unfortunately, the site hasn't gone live yet, so I
can't show anything. It's the exact same problem as the examples given on
the link I sent. Just wish there was a simpler way of fixing it other than
giving it a fixed height.

Cheers for your help

Hi Mathew,

I have gone the path of clearing left on the first LI of each new line. This
doesn't seem to work in all versions of IE for me, have you got it working
yourself?

Cheers
Paul

[WSG] Floated list items of differing heights

2007-10-24 Thread Paul Collins
Hi all,

I've managed to avoid doing this for  while, but I'm doing a CMS job
and the content in a floated group of LI's is going to be differeing
heights. They need to wrap onto a new line when they hit the right
edge of the container, causing layout problems.

I've found this article, but it doesn't work for me and seems like a
lot of work. Has anyone see a better way of getting it to work?

Would need to see what you have at the moment before I could suggest  
anything.
