[css-d] figured out the dropdown issue
Mobile Safari had trouble hiding the submenu using absolute positioning with a large negative left - unless there was a width on the submenu. However, there were no problems with changing display:none to display:block and using a variable submenu. In that case, one click on the top menu shows the item, and another click sends you to a page. Since the dropdowns are not essential (you can click through to a page with a side menu), I used that. __ 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/
[css-d] Expand parent width to contain floated elements
Hi is there a way to expand the width of a parent container so that it fits the contents of the floated elements within it? If I have two floated elements within a parent element, and the width of those two floated elements can change depending on their content, I would like the width of the parent element to expand to contain them. At the moment, the floated element would stick out the right of the container. Thanks. __ 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/
Re: [css-d] Expand parent width to contain floated elements
Pretty sure if you float the parent, it will grow to fit the content.

[css-d] Help with 3rd column in IE8
I have a website that works perfectly in IE8 Compatibility mode, Firefox,
Chrome, Opera and Safari, but in IE8 I get a bleed or overflow effect -
you will have to view this in IE8 non-compatibility mode to see what I am
referring to: http://www.aheartbreakinghchoice.com
Can anyone offer me any assistance with why I am getting this overflow
effect in IE8 only? Here is my CSS for that section:
div#sidecol
{
background-position: center top;
padding: 10px 20px 10px 5px;
width: 15%;
float: right;
margin-left: 5px;
background-image: url('../Images/BrokenHeart4.png');
background-repeat: repeat-y;
height: 100%;
}
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Coleen

Try adding overflow: hidden; to the parent (may bring it's own problems), or read about the clearfix method here: http://www.positioniseverything.net/easyclearing.html Tim, those 'clearfix' methods, aka 'containing' floats are methods to expand the /height/ of the parent element that only contains floated blocks. What the OP wants is expanding (and contracting ?) the /width/ of said parent element. Kevin is right on the money that floating the parent element will most probably accomplish this – providing no width of max-width is specified (min-width is fine though). An alternative is using display:table-cell (or table), at the cost of less compatibility (IE 7 and older).
