Hi, in the meantime I tried more than 5 different approaches, using divs with float or display:table/row/cell and that. All approaches work with all browsers except IE8! So I found that the problem may not be located within the CSS!
The key observation for me is that the problem went away while playing around with IE's display and document "modes": When switching to "IE8 standards mode", it works fine! When it didn't work, IE was in "IE 7 standards mode (page standard)". So the non-working "IE 7 standards mode" is the "page standard". One approach could be to make IE asume that the working "IE 8 standards mode" is the "page standard". But how? I found that my host page simply begins with "<!doctype html>". I know that this means "strict mode", but can we extend this so that IE assumes its "IE8 standards mode"? My current goal is to make IE switch to "IE8 standards mode" automatically. I believe that it could be a solution to guide IE into that direction... Magnus -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
