The float and container information was poorly explained. Here is a real example with an explanation: http://www.maxdesign.com.au/jobs/floatsample.htm
Russ > The image is set to "float: left" which means it is taken out of normal > flow. Containers (in this case the <li>) cannot determine the height of a > floated item, so they will close themselves immediately below any elements > that are in normal flow (in this case below the <h2> and the <p>) - leaving > your image poking out the bottom of the container. If the content were > deeper, this may not show, but it will always be the case with floated > items. It is completely normal browser behaviour. Does that make sense? > ***************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ *****************************************************
