IE can't "shrink width to content" on floats when the content is floats.
Thus, IE needs a declared width on #locations.

That width must be in 'em' to accommodate font-resizing, but because you
have mixed pixels and em in there you'll never get it right.
Something like...

#locations {*width: 15.5em;}

...(hacked for IE-only - this way or whichever way you like) will be
close though.

regards
Georg

Hi,

I would try to set a width on div#locations (218px or so).

Unfortunately, you are not understanding floats correctly. :-)

A float that is later in the source cannot appear further up the page
than one created earlier in the source, according to rule #5 in the
spec.[1]

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news

Ben,

I'm not sure what your are trying to achieve, but take a look at this
Al Sparber demo:

Am I not understanding floats correctly?

Ben,

I am not the greatest at this either, as I am learning, but Jim Davis
passed this url
(http://www.projectseven.com/csslab/testing/lists/grid.htm) along to me
and it help out with a project I am currently working on.

I hope it helps,
Scot

Hello list,

I am having trouble with a layout. If you use FF and have Web Dev  
toolbar you will see my dilemma. I can't find where the text under the  
thumbnails is getting the huge width from. I'm sure it is something  
stupid.


http://www.petticoatjewels.com/test/designs.htm

TIA



I solved my initial problem, but am not sure if my fix will make anyone  
clasp a hand over their mouth to keep the last thing they ate from getting  
on their shoes. Please take a peek if you have the time and also let me  
know, if possible, how to get rid of the extra space to the left of the  
images. They should line up, on the left, with the paragraph above them.


TIA
