RE: [WSG] Definition list formatting problem in IE

2004-05-27 Thread Miles Tillinger 
Update!

Added width: 50em; to dd and it stopped it from floating to the right.  But now the dd 
wraps at a fixed width!  I want it to go 100% but it won't play ball...

 Surprise!  A formatting problem in IE...
 
 In IE5+ and Opera, the second dd, which contains the Category 
 links, is jumping up and floating to the right of the first 
 dd with the URL.  It displays fine in Firefox and Netscape 7.
 
 html/css is at http://www.streetdaddy.com/wsg/index2.html
 
 Thanks in advance,
 
 Miles.

Have you tried *not* floating the dd?

#apiresults dt
{
width: 8em;
float: left;
clear: left;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
font-weight: normal;
}

#apiresults dd
{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}

Should be enough.
