Re: [WSG] Help. 2 extra words breaks the page
Paul, your CSS doesn't validate. This is failing:
div.sidebar {border-left: 1px solid #ccc; width: 200px; float: right;
padding-left: 5px; padding-vertical-align:text-top;}
Error: Property padding-vertical-align doesn't exist : text-top
Remember to validate!
The problem with IE5 lies with your tables. If you strip out the
tables, the problem goes away. In particular, the table that you have
ID'd by summary=content. It has no declared width that I can see,
in either markup or CSS - and in IE5 it's expanding to fit the
available content, which puts its RH edge outside your layout box. Add
a border to this table to see what it's doing.
Try laying out the page without the tables - it may seem more
difficult, but trust me, you'll get better control in the long run.

What I've found is that the amount of text in the sidebar paragraph

It's easier to see than explain.
A version that works can be found at:

The only difference is the addition of the words justo nec to the

Can anyone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong?

[WSG] Help. 2 extra words breaks the page
I'm trying to create a sidebar for web pages at work to allow an author a spot to place notes or other quick thoughts. What I've found is that the amount of text in the sidebar paragraph can break the page. At some point an extra t words causes all of the text on the page to go beyond the right hand boundary of the page. It's easier to see than explain. A version that works can be found at: http://www.love2tap.com/sidebar/fits.html And a version that doesn't work can be seen at: http://www.love2tap.com/sidebar/bad.html The only difference is the addition of the words justo nec to the sodebar paragraph.
