Hi All I found something today that has probably been documented many times but was new to me.
I have a maincontent div and inside it may be an image that is floated left. I wanted the paragraphs to float around it without having to put the image inside the paragraph tag. This worked fine in firefox, but I had a problem with IE. So, I set a width to the paragraph and that helped IE. html>body p {width:90%;} Now this behavior was annoying, but not a major battle. With IE5 mac, this was destroying the layout. The image was pushing the rest of the content to the left and forcing the sidebar down. I guess I could have let IE5 Mac in on the above hack, but instead I placed the image inside the first paragraph. This settled a lot of layout issues. Now I am going to look at our purchase page again to see if this kind of nesting floats is messing up that area. I didn't want to put the image inside the paragraph to make it more idiot-proof for future programmers. However, I've noticed others doing the same, so I am assuming it is not invalid.
