Re: [WSG] Yet Another Float Problem

[Paula Petrik]

Well, the problem is solved--for the time being. It still does not work on Win98 with IE4, but I think that I have to draw the line. As Drew suggested, it was a rounding problem, but I did get a lot of practice writing if statement for the IE family. I do have question. Drew, when you say "you will clear to get height," what will I be clearing? I have a 3-column page coming up and want to forestall any further angst.

Pulling out my hair. I cannot get this to work in IE and can't figure out where I'm going wrong. If I float:left the #maincontent, I lose my background image because #wrapper has no height. IE does not want to honor something. The #mainecontent should move up around the floated #nav. Do I need a :clear? Hoping someone is working away somewhere. XHTML and CSS validates and have browsercammed. http://www.archiva.net/hist697ay06/ http://www.archiva.net/hist697ay06/hist69 CKQUOTE> Forgot to add that if you do want to float both you will need the clear to get height. drew
