Re: [WSG] Case of the amazing disappearing wrapper!
You probably could get the line break to work, but you'd still have to give it some dimension. You had line-height:0. Glad I could help! --Zachary jackie reid wrote: Thank you Zackary...

I have slightly changed the way i built this site after reading the div mania article posted on the wsg site the other day and realised that most of my sites were suffering from it, maybe this has changed the reaction of the br class clear thing and made it defunct.
