RE: [WSG] Clearing a row with floated list li
Thanks very much for that James, I was trying to avoid using the conditional comments - I don't normally use them, but it seems the only way in this case. I've put that in now, so thanks very much for your help.

Re: [WSG] Clearing a row with floated list li
Hi Paul, I want to clear every third list item and start a new row I haven't tested this so I may very well be wrong, but since you have fixed width LIs, if you confine the width of the UL so it only accommodates three LIs will the 4th LI drop to the next line?
