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

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. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of YW Webmaster Sent: Monday, 24 October 2005 12:50 PM To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Subject: RE: [WSG] Argh! Clearing issues with center column 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. ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help ** ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **
