I forgot about haslayout when I suggested float. My how your mind begins to skip things when they aren't staring you in the face.
Avoid using height:0 as the hack. It could come back to haunt you in the future. Use zoom:1; instead. This will provide layout without creating a potential size conflict in the future. Don't forget, IE7 is on the horizon and your hacks need to be future proof. Ted -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of George S.

My problem was, apparently, due to an IE bug, Lack of Layout, more information on which is at the following- http://www.satzansatz.de/cssd/onhavinglayout.html Hope this fixes it for you, George On Mon, 2005-12-26 at 16:23, Paula Petrik wrote: > If I float:left the #maincontent, I lose my background image because #wrapper has no > height. -- Sterling Web Services http://www.websterling.com The Web Done Right ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ****************************************************** ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
