RE: [WSG] Argh! Clearing issues with center column

[Paul Noone]

Thanks awesomely for all those who helped point me in the right direction.
After attempting innumerable hacks I finally found the one I wanted.

For those who are interested the problem was, naturally, an IE bug. The less
famous 'italic' bug to be precise.

Usually this bug only manifests itself in the form of containers being
widened to accommodate italic text. In this case it was forcing my main
content wy down the page and thus breaking the layout.

The solution (yet another added to the ever-growwing IE-override.css)
involves the Holly Hack with a twist. The hack gets applied to any div
containing the italic text (and, in this case, the immediate parents).

/* \*/
* html #middle { height: 1%; overflow: visible;}
* html #content { height: 1%; overflow: visible;}
* html #update { height: 1%; overflow: visible;}
/* */

Thanks again!

[WSG] Argh! Clearing issues with center column

[Paul Noone]

Hi guys,

I know this isn't an easy one to crack. I've applied all the latest
bleeding-edge clearing techniques but my center column's content still drops
away at various widths when you resize the browser window.

I'd always thought that it occurred when the 3rd column's content was higher
but this is not the case. Any simple solutions that don't require a complete
layout rewrite are much sought after. :)

Thankyou for that, it will be very usefull for a couple of projects I have.

 The current test URL is here - http://d81314.i50.quadrahosting.com.au/ 
 -
One word of warning in IE6 at about 960px wide browser window the centre
content drops below the calendar. It only happens in a small range say 950
to 970 pixels wide.

 Which leads me to my next question. Anyone know of a calendar solution 
 using PHP that creates clean code?
I would look at the one that comes with wordpress:
http://wordpress.org  it does nice valid code.

RE: [WSG] Argh! Clearing issues with center column

Yeah, I tried that first. I've now applied it to all nested containers that
contain a floated DIV but the center still drops. I just can't seem to
figure this out.

It only occurs on some pages but I haven't been able to determine exactly
what is causing it. Maybe it's HRs, or long URLs. I just don't know.

Hello there,

Have you tried applying the clearfix hack to a container wrapping around
your whole page?  I didn't test it thoroughly but it seemed to work on IE
5.5 and 6 for me.

Good luck.
