Re: [WSG] Case of the amazing disappearing wrapper!

2005-06-30 Thread Zachary Hopkins
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!

Thank you Zackary... I accept the fix with real gratitude.

I am confused though. I have been using that  bizo 
for ages and ages and usually it works perfectly. Why wouldnt it work 
this time?


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. Who 
knows. One thing  i do know is that we cant take anything for granted 
in this game. Just cos it worked yesterday doesnt mean its going to 
work today.


Once again thanks heaps for your help

I've had this problem before.

It involves a 0-height object not clearing.  There needs to some
dimension to an object that clears another.
I've uploaded a copy to my site for you to check out.

I've modified the page to be valid XHTML 1.0 Strict, given your doctype.

The changes are commented, but I've changed the clearing object to be a
div and I've given it some dimension.
Changed CSS: .clear{ clear: both;height:1px;}

 the white wrapper div is just not containing the content. Or rather 
sometimes it is and sometimes its not.
 when you first go into the site the wrapper doesnt stretch, if you 
use the navigation and move to another page it seems ok. but when 
you refresh the screen whompa... its the amazing disappearing 
wrapper thing again.

 Please shed light on the subject if you can.
 Thanks again list.

Ditto on that one.

It's odd, but that's the way it is.
