It found your problem when I couldn't see it. change <dv id="content"> to <div id="content"> Floated elements are removed from the page 'flow'. Because this is true, #content has no content. Remove the height from #outer, it will only frustrate you later. You could float #outer also and get the 'enclosing' behavior you seek, but then it wouldn't be centered anymore. Once the typo noted above is fixed, your clearer will work fine for clearing #outer, but #content will still collapse to nothing because all elements inside it are floated. As an aside, I'd make it a class instead of an id. hth Roger, Roger Roelofs "Remember, if you’re headed in the wrong direction, God allows U-turns!" ~Allison Gappa Bottke ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
