Re: [css-d] Nested floats in IE6/7

 Is it bad practice to nest floats with the width:auto  float:left on the 
 container + float:right on the child? I've read that every browser handles 
 this differently but, on a test case, IE8 + FF3.6 + Opera 10.51 have the same 
 results. It is outdated information? :)

 If it's ok to nest floats, how can I fix the problem elegantly in older 
 browsers?

It is ok to nest floats.

For IE7 and IE6, a widthless container float with layout descendants
might not shrink to fit.

There is no elegant solution, so you'd have to post an URL of your
page in question.

Thanks,
Ingo

[css-d] Nested floats in IE6/7

[Bob Bob]

Hello everybody!

I know this has been discussed before but I still need some advice.
Is it bad practice to nest floats with the width:auto  float:left on the 
container + float:right on the child? I've read that every browser handles 
this differently but, on a test case, IE8 + FF3.6 + Opera 10.51 have the same 
results. It is outdated information? :)

If it's ok to nest floats, how can I fix the problem elegantly in older 
browsers?
