can't seem to get clear on how to contain floats. i've assigned heights to some elements so i could see what i was doing, they'll be removed as problems are resolved. the wrapper has a background image and includes the light yellow, the only reason it can be seen is that it has a height assigned; what can't be seen, is that the container (770px) isn't within the wrapper, and it appears both the content (green) and sidebar (blue) will also not be contained in the wrapper and i'm not sure about the container. newbie stuff. i remember the idea of float to fix a float, but it seems to have floated away over time. a little insight would be appreciated ron zisman ricochet.org 845-735-3392 ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- 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/
