Hi Kenny, Kenny Graham wrote: Don't have time right now to figure out what would work tho. Thank you for making the time to reply. I appreciate it. And I especially appreciated that comment. It had a very 'familiar ring' to it. As a developer, I've given very similar feedback to newbie coders over the years. Maybe someone else will. And the fact that no one else has chimed in confirms for me what your comment made me recognize. My current CSS is the equivalent of a big pile of spaghetti code. Can't fix this thing without breaking others. So I'm following the advice I've given on so many occassions. Back up, start over, and get the basics working right first. I've made some progress already this morning but was hoping for a confirmation on my strategy which is... Work from the top of the page down. Floats first. Then the elements that flow 'naturally'. Is that headed in the right direction?

[css-d] line break and fieldset height problems
Greetings! I need help figuring out a couple of things on the page at http://www.yourtimematters.com/problem_page.html It's looking pretty much like I want it to look in FF with the exception of (1) below. I can live with the way it looks in IE7. I've got a problem I can't figure out in IE6. I haven't tried to fix IE5.5 or IE5.0 yet but hope, with your help on the items below, that I may be able to figure it out without bothering you again. I would appreciate any feedback on how bad the situation is on the Mac browsers. Ths problems I know about are: 1) In FF the line is breaking well short of the clock div. I tried putting a margin-left on the clock div but that did no good so I'm guessing there's something else that's causing that problem. That part of the page renders ok in IE7. 2) In IE6, the fieldset.around_images is way to tall and I can't figure out what's pushing it down. It would be great to be able to bring the outer fieldset up about an em, but I can live with what I've got if necessary. Clicking on any of the tabs (the source of which I'm sure you all recognize) will take you to the section's start page. Feel free to explore if you like ! Any and all feedback, on any front, is both welcome and appreciated.

Re: [css-d] line break and fieldset height problems
1) In FF the line is breaking well short of the clock div. I tried putting a margin-left on the clock div but that did no good so I'm guessing there's something else that's causing that problem. That part of the page renders ok in IE7. FF seems to be doing it right. #clock_reset_button is what's causing the gap to the left of the clock. You're using relative positioning to move it to the right, but when you use relative positioning, other things (the text in this case) still flow around its original location. As far as that text is concerned, #clock_reset_button is still 111px farther to the left. I'd recommend using something other than relative positioning to get that button where it belongs. Don't have time right now to figure out what would work tho. Maybe someone else will. __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
