Els, Fantastic, thank you! I should have thought of trying overflow: hidden, I tried everything and the kitchen sink but that. This would be ideal since I don't have to change the markup (which I don't have control of).

[snip] > Markup with CSS here: > http://newcleardesigns.com/lab/ If you give blockquote overflow:hidden or overflow:auto, the problem is solved in Firefox and Opera. If you give blockquote a height, the problem is solved in IE. Use hacks to hide the overflow from IE and the height from Firefox :-) Tested only in IE6, Opera 8.54 and FF1.5. -- Els http://locusmeus.com/ http://locusoptimus.com/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
