Re: [css-d] CSS Formatting
Sure it is. Adding clearing elements, and the ensuing additional CSS (or extra clearing markup), makes code less readable for, in most cases, no good reason. Since overflow: hidden or overflow: auto does the trick, the whole issue of clearing floats becomes essentially a non-issue, and saves extra markup.

Re: [css-d] container div doesn't grow to hold images
Do this: Add overflow: hidden and margin-left: 0 to your #right div. -- Yehuda Katz On 7/16/06, Ann Adamcik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > - Original Message > From: Ivar van Duuren <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > I have a problem with a page of a personal page. > The url is this: http://www.gritter.org/trouwen/pics.html > > As you'll see, the pictures are not contained by their parent div. > To me it looks like they float but in the css they're not defined as > floating... > - > > Hi Ivar, > > You've got markup errors on this page.

[css-d] CSS Formatting
Hi guys, Michael Geary of the jQuery list suggested I continue a discussion I started there on this list related to CSS. Essentially, I created a set of CSS Formatting guidelines designed to get designers to create readable CSS that other designers could quickly get up to speed on. The "spec" is available in PDF form at http://www.yehudakatz.com/CSSf-1-5-1-Spec.pdf. An example stylesheet formatted almost 100% according to the CSSf spec is available at http://www.yehudakatz.com/sample.css. I say almost 100% because I'm using it in a production setting, and I've changed the spec somewhat after a spirited conversation on the jQuery list. I also use a Ruby on Rails implementation of Sean Inman's SSC, which definitely further simplifies the CSS and makes it more readable. You can take a look at the SSC structure at http://paste.css-standards.org/1500. I'm not sure how long those pastebins last. -- Yehuda Katz Web Developer (ph) 718.877.1325 (fax) 718.686.4288 __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- 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/
