IE/win is "saved" by its 'hasLayout'[1] bug which makes the container auto-expand, while other browsers need to be told to expand the container to include its floating children. Adding... #navigation {display: table;} ...will solve that by establishing a new block formatting context[2], which enforces expansion without interfering with the dropdowns. regards Georg [1]http://www.satzansatz.de/cssd/onhavinglayout.html [2]http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visuren.html#block-formatting -- http://www.gunlaug.no ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
