This is an interesting discussion, I have always used <div
class="cleardiv"></div> on the page and then put
.cleardiv {height: 1em; clear:both;} in the style sheet. Not sure if this is
the best way, its seemed to work well without testing it too rigorously.
I've definitely got some new ideas now to try out though.Tim -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Thierry Koblentz Sent: Tuesday, 13 November 2007 9:04 AM To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Subject: RE: [WSG] Best way to clear a float > On Behalf Of John Faulds >> *Sometimes* I find this works: >> #parent {overflow: auto;} > You need to combine that with a width for it to work in IE.

I agree. The thing to watch for though is if there is a IE min-height hack (_height) involved... -- Regards, Thierry | http://www.TJKDesign.com ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ******************************************************************* ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
