I've hit this problem before, but have always ended up using deplorably complicated workarounds to avoid it.
How can I avoid block elements inside floated blocks collapsing to the minimum height? I am using a two column setup (navigation and content) as follows: div#column-left { float: left; margin: 0; padding: 8px 0 0 0; width: 10em; } div#column-right { float: left; margin: 0 0 0 -10em; width: 100%; } But within the right column is all the content housed in a Plone CMS structure of divs, and it collapses to 0 height, leaving me with no content. What's going on? Thanks, Barney PS: I know all about the semantic ids debate - these are for illustration purposes only. ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
