[WSG] Float causing footer text to drop?

2004-10-31 Thread Lyn Patterson
Have added a floated box to main content area and this seems to have caused the footer text to drop out of the footer and sit beneath it. I can't see where to correct this. Have tried to clear it but obviously not putting it in the right place. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi Lyn, It's not the float which is causing the footer to drop, it's this rule: p { margin-top: 5em;} Set that to 0 and you'll find the footer text moves right back to where you want it. Cheers, Mike On Sunday, October 31, 2004, at 07:00 PM, Lyn Patterson wrote: Have added a floated box to main

[WSG] Margin Madness

Hi, In the following css snippet each attempt at giving div#header a margin-top of 7.5em from the container; results in the container div moving an additional 7.5em from the top of the viewport, what am I missing? Is this the margin collapsing gremlin at work? style type=text/css

Haven't looked closely but have you tried adding a border to the following rule set to see if it is actually working, just not showing properly: div#container { margin: 10px auto; width: 600px; height: 700px; text-align: left; background: #5A6995

The red border will highlight the div#container and possibly show that the margin is working on div#header I forgot to add that if this is the case, you are seeing margin trapping at work. Previously discussed on-list: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg06982.html R

There are a few ways around it. That is one (although it should be 7.5em?). Another is to add a 1px border of the same colour as the container - depends on your need. Hi, After removing the border the problem returned. So included a padding-top of 5em; on the container div, is this the
