Re: [css-d] Sidebar not expanding content div

2008-11-02 Thread Christopher Kip 
Thanks David and Thierry and everyone,

That was it -- stupid mistake.  Somewhere along the line I deleted  
that style from my stylesheet -- no idea how or why.  So adding it  
back in that had the clear: both; style in it got all working again.   
I was looking at everything else and never thought I might have  
deleted out the style -- doh...

Thanks for the clean set of eyes!!

 Maybe this'll help:

 .pagewrapper #container {
overflow: hidden; /* -- Compliant Browser Float Clearing */
}

 I'd move this to #content as it seems to be a closer ancestor.
 But the interesting part is that the issue appears to be related to a
 missing class in the styles sheet. There is a structural hack in the
 markup to clear floats after #mainContent:

 br class=clearfloat /

 But I can't find .clearfloat in the sheet.
 In any case, your suggestion should allow the OP to remove the  
 above from
 the markup.

Hi Christopher,

Actually, my suggestion was to follow Bill's advice. 
If I mentioned the missing clearfloat class it was only to explain why it
was not working as you expected. If the issue did not exist in IE it is
because the element has layout.
The overflow declaration Bill's posted will make the element contain the
float *without* the need of the br class=clearfloat / you have in the
markup [1].
In short, you should not put the clearfloat class back in your stylesheet,
*instead* you should add the overflow:hidden declaration in the sheet and
*remove* the br / from the markup.

[css-d] Sidebar not expanding content div

2008-11-01 Thread Christopher Kip 
Hi all,

works in IE but in all others can't figure out why the sidebar is  
extending past the container vs. the container expanding to fit.  I  
have done this many times before, though slightly different layouts  
and not had problems.  Maybe a fresh pair of eyes...

Try:
#footer {clear: both;}
Whatever this is, why does it have a height set on it? Or, why does it 
have two different heights set on it?
.pagewrapper #viewercontainer {
height: 1400px;
height: 95px;
}
