Hi All, James Alvies wrote the list with a question about float clearing on a layout with fairly complex source. I run XP and Vista on VirtualBox inside my Ubuntu OS and hadn't installed any of the development tools for IE. Wondering whether it would be possible to use the javascript protocol to clear an element after the page had loaded, I came up with the solution below. It's JavaScript, but since it pertains to a CSS fix, I thought I'd send it along as an interesting method to test float clearing without having to cycle back and forth to your IDE or text editor.
Not exactly sure why setting the cssText to null would clear a float, but it seems to do the trick. Here's the snippet: javascript:(document.getElementById('container').style.cssText=null)(); Just replace 'container' with 'your-container-name' and paste it into the URL after the page has loaded. If you're clearing the right container, IE will adjust the layout. Anyway, thought it was interesting, so I'm sending it along in case it helps someone else.
