I wish I know why. I believe it has to do with treatment of positioned elements and floating is a type of positioning. Would love to hear an experts explanation. On Wed, Dec 9, 2009 at 6:32 PM, Skip Knox wrote: > Well done, Theresa! You know, I looked at that and did the stupid thing: I > said,

Thanks, Yogesh, but I was looking for a solution in the css, not in the html. This is because I have literally hundreds of pages with images on them, all of different sizes. Editing all those by hand was more than I wanted to contemplate. Anyway, as noted elsewhere, Theresa Newman spotted the real

Well done, Theresa! You know, I looked at that and did the stupid thing: I said, naw, no way it's that! FYI, the clear didn't work. Only removing the float on the img tag worked. I *knew* it was inheritance, but of course I was only looking at what the div was inheriting and did not look more cl

Hello, As Tim and Mehmet have mentioned, setting width should do the trick. Image wrapper's width is 231px and has 1px border. So total width is 233px. Set this width on imagewrapper. I tested it on IE8 and it works fine. DIV.imagewrapper { . width: 233px; } HTH. Yogesh On 12/9/2009 3:41

I also did the next obvious thing: paste the css over. I commented out the suspect code from the Crusades page and pasted in the working code from the WestCiv page. Guess what? Broken! Okay. It's not the html and it's not the css, and yet one works and the other doesn't. WTF? Skip Knox Boise St

Thanks to Tim and David for the response. I'd already tried both those, but I gave it another shot. Still the same issue. The caption insists on filling the entire space. Here's what's even more fun. I have other sites and these don't exhibit the behavior. Here's an example: http://boisestate.edu/

Apologies, people. I had IE8 and IE7 standalone installed. It appears that if IE7 standalone is installed after IE8, there is some sort of conflict that causes this problem to appear in both browsers. Reinstalling IE8 fixed it. Cheers Peter -Original Message- From: css-d-boun...@lis
