I know I don't contribute a lot to this list (kind of hard to offer advice when you're in the ranks that some of you all are in - I sometimes feel like a Private standing in front of Patton, if you know what I mean) - but I found something I thought was interesting.
I was having an issue with an "experiment" someone laid on the the other day, and I was - for a short time - looking for a way to "clear" an absolutely positioned div in the same way you could clear a float. I was pretty sure it couldn't be done (in fact, in my search, I found a response from Ingo to a thread written a little over a year ago that specified "no" to this exact question - which sort of made it a definite for me). However, I *did* find this: http://www.shauninman.com/assets/examples/si-clear-absolutes-1.6/nested.html Now, I haven't given it a good look, and I only tested it in Firefox 2.0 and IE 6 and 7. But whatever it is this guy did, it seems to work. I was wondering if I could get some alternate thoughts on this method. Where could you see it being "bad" to use? Has anyone seen anything like this before? (and for the record, I don't know what the "CDATA" is for, or what effect it has on this method...) I thought it was pretty interesting, and just wanted to get some input on what you all thought of it. ~Shelly ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
