[css-d] IE problem, floating inside an absolute

2006-03-30 Thread James Yates
Hi,

Am trying to float a footer in an absolute positioned maincontent div.
Problem in IE is when I apply width 100% to footer. Instead of being 100%
width of maincontent parent, it's much wider and extends maincontent off the
screen. Is there a fix? Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
James

Hi James,

Because your main content div is absolutely-positioned, the footer ignores 
it.
I would guess that either by removing the absolute on that which you wanted 
as the parent, or by possibly adding a relative position to the footer this 
would work. Give it a try, let me know.
