IE9 does it too. It looks like the border on the div.checkout-progress is making it wider than its container and then wrapping it around sidebar_right. If you take off the property width:100% it fixes it. Unless they're floated or have a fixed width, DIVs take up the available width by default. By giving it a fixed width (100%), the width of the block itself was 100%, then the borders added to that. -- Ghodmode http://www.ghodmode.com/blog > Actual code from here: > http://oaktreehomeandgarden.co.uk/shop/ > > It happens when you view the shopping cart. > > Test page validates at W3 for both html and css (though there is some jquery > css generated by the cart that doesn't validate, and the actual cart > generates some unencoded ampersands in URLs.) > > All help appreciated greatly. > > -- > Best regards, > BJ > > > http://ninjawebservices.com > mailto:b...@ninjawebservices.com ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [css-d@lists.css-discuss.org] 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/
