[css-d] FF and IE problems
On my site I have a sidebar that is set to float left, and then content that is set to float none. This works and looks fine in FireFox but in IE the content slips below the sidebar? I have tried a number of different css moves and html moves but keeps resulting in the same problem please help, Andrew __ 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/

However, the numerous layouts available here [1] provide a stable base on which you may build - both two and three column layouts are available; fixed, fluid-width and many permutations thereof.

As Alan Baker said we need to see some working code to truly be correct.
This css.
#content-main {
float:none;
width:100%; /* hasLayout trigger */
}
Is simply.
#content-main {}
Since a div is always 100% of it containing block [1] when in normal
flow [2]. What you are seeing in IE5, IE6 or IE7 is I think the affects
of hasLayout [3]. Remove the width:100% from #content-main and IE should
behave itself.

Re: [css-d] FF and IE problems
Nope, I removed that width control from the css but still IE is refusing
to show it correctly, I did use FireBug in FireFox to check this out and
FireBug seems to agree that it's ok!
Is this an IE problem, like the Microsoft way to be a pain, or am I
missing something!?

Without a link we have know idea what IE is doing. Which versions of IE are you referring to anyway? They will all show differences depending on the layout. I can give you plenty of reasons why IE misbehaves but a 1000 plus links will be a bit overwhelming. If you can't provide a link you need to explain in precise detail what IE? is not showing correctly.

Re: [css-d] FF and IE problems
Sorry, I haven't time to wade through entire stylesheets tonight, but assuming
that your stylesheets don't do anything 'clever' with table definitions, it
looks as if your divs are wrapped by table/table tags which AFAIK would
follow each other in the HTML 'flow', so each table will appear below the last
regardless of the fact that you have no TRs and TDs defined. This would
invalidate your 'box model' flow styling.
I suggest dumping all TABLE definitions unless you are truly using a table
def for a real table, and use CSS to do all of your placement.
