Taco, While text will stop at the edge of a floated item, borders and background colours will extend under a floated item - this is normal float behaviour. You can see this in operation here: http://css.maxdesign.com.au/floatutorial/introduction18.htm http://css.maxdesign.com.au/floatutorial/introduction19.htm
The only way to stop this occurring is to either (1) apply a right-margin to the comment div, or (2) fake it slightly by putting a white box around the floated orange nav (which I would not recommend) Sorry :( Russ > > I have a DIV on my page that runs through the Navigation menu, I'd like it > not to run through the navigation menu. > Although I would like it to be 100% in width, thus taking up all the space > it is allowed to take up. > > I have been trying several thing with it, but to no avail.
