RE: Re[2]: [WSG] Problems with floats in IE

[Tatham Oddie]

Stuart, Thanks for your idea… I’m going to try and get Chris’ to work first because I think it’s a cleaner solution. If necessary I’ll fall back to yours though.   Chris, Using clear: left certainly fixes it, but then my forms stack horizontally across the page. Somehow I need a clear: right or clear: both rule in there, however both of these break the page. Any suggestions? I don’t even understand how the floats are affecting the left-position of the parent box…   Thanks!
