RE: [WSG] Lines on top - anyone see why?

2004-05-19 Thread Michael Kear
Thanks for the idea, Martin.  That did the trick, although not in the
#heading selector, but in the dl selector, which is the object that contains
all those floated elements.   The #heading is only the top component of the
floated box.

Thanks a lot, it's been niggling away at me for ages, that one. 

Cheers

Try position:relative; on the floated box(#heading)

G'day, it looks fine to me.
FF0.8, Win98SE, 1280x1024.
Something I found (not related to this problem) is with the vertical 
menu on the products page. The text needs i little more padding on the 
left as it's overlapping the grey bullets, no biggy. Site displayed fine 
apart from that. I haven't tested in IE (I suspect that's were the 
problems emerge?)

Ive added a specials box to my auslegs site using that cute 
round-corner technique we read about on this list a few days ago. 
  (Mountaintop Corners : 
http://www.alistapart.com/articles/mountaintop/)

 

 Im really pleased with how it works and how good it looks.   Except 
for one page.   Can anyone see why the grey horizontal borders on the 
news page at  http://auslegs.com.au/news/index.cfm  are going on top of 
the specials box instead of underneath or stopping to the left?

 

The CSS is at http://auslegs.com.au/styles/Auslegs.css

Internet Explorer sucks at rendering floats correctly. It looks fine in 
Mozilla/Firefox.

I had the same problem a few weeks back when starting to redesigning my blog and I 
specified widths in percentages for the floated element and the elements that were to 
wrap around the floated element and it worked fine in IE and Mozilla/Firefox.

See if that helps any.

I should have been a little more specific.  Sorry .   It looks fine in
Firefox to me too.   However the client looks at his site in IE6, and that's
where the problem manifests itself.

Thanks anyway.  I guess no one has any ideas how I can make the lines go
underneath the floated box on my page in IE. 

I don't suppose it's impossible? Surely not.

I can't use percentages in the float because it has to be fixed 130px width,
because of the graphics creating the round corners.

I guess I'll have to tell the client that the design isn't possible and
we'll have to change it.

Pity.  First time I've asked a question here and had no answers except one
that I can't use.
