the good browsers have no idea that you want #wrap to contain the floats inside, so they give #wrap a 0 height. you have already triggered haslayout in ie6, which is why it's expanding to contain the floats and the background is showing up.
i'd suggest sticking in the easy clearing method to get the other browsers to contain the float: #wrap:after { clear: both; content: "."; display: block; height: 0; visibility: hidden; } ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
