Re: [css-d] background color issues
the good browsers have no idea that you want #wrap to contain the
floats inside, so they give #wrap a 0 height. you have already
triggered haslayout in ie6, which is why it's expanding to contain the
floats and the background is showing up.
i'd suggest sticking in the easy clearing method to get the other
browsers to contain the float:
#wrap:after {
clear: both;
content: .;
display: block;
height: 0;
visibility: hidden;
}

Re: [css-d] background color issues
Actually - CSS validation states in such warning that I have no background-color assigned for my div#wrap, but if you scroll down to (or otherwise read) the css, I do...?... WTF?!? Thanks, Ron Quoting RKN Studio [EMAIL PROTECTED]: problem child - www.magnoliapr.com (/magpr.css) IE 6+ gets the bg color happening in the wrap div, but to my surprise FF, NN and Opera does not. Also, you can see in IE that there is a slight space added after the banner/logo area. The home page is validating XHTML and CSS (save for bgcolor warnings) What am I missing?

Thanks, Ron this method is the one i most prefer to both contain floats and to clear them as well. if you'd like to see some of the other options members of css-d know of, you can visit the wiki at http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=ClearingSpace i personally don't like adding br/ or hr/ (or anything else for that matter) to clear. option 2 is right up my ally. __ 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/

Hi Ron,
The css-validator has no html-sniffer or html-interpreter, so it cannot
know more as mentioned in the stylesheet... ;-)
The div#wrap is only once in the css, how should the ccs-validator know
that an other div (and: which one) is inside the div#wrap?
And for instance:
div#block {background-color: #a4957a;} is followed by:
#block p {color: #ff;}
Say there is also a li inside the #block, then the color of the li
is not covered. And maybe the color af a li in general was just the
color of the background of the #block...
Conclusion: in general, the css is giving the styles (and some of the
cascade), but the real cascade is only in the html.
So the css-validator is right to give a warning, if a color/bg-color is
not in pair in the same element.
Apart from that, this warning is not 100% safe: bg-color black and
color: #010101 (1 degree of the 255 in the brightness scale = visible
also as black, unless you are an eagle in his better years) don't give a
warning, but are a validated good pair. - Validator is blind for the
degree of contrast (and also for different colors with the same
intensity, which can be completely unseen by colorblind people)!
Greetings,
francky
