No problem, I came across the clearfix hack quite recently on http://www.positioniseverything.net/easyclearing.html, It's useful for keeping your css simple in a complicated float layout without using any additional html. You can treat the containing block as part of the normal flow for all browsers, the only problem now is that it's apparently not suitable for IE7, there's an article here:
http://www.stuffandnonsense.co.uk/archives/clearing_floats_without_structural_markup_in_ie7.html but i wouldn't worry about implementing anything because of that yet, IE7 is still in its testing stage. The article here: http://www.tanfa.co.uk/archives/show.asp?var=300 actually demonstrates how the clearfix hack still works in IE7. I'm a little confused myself but this code works (fingers crossed): .clearfix { display: inline-block; } /* Holly Hack Targets IE Win only \*/ * html .clearfix {height: 1%;} .clearfix {display: block;} /* End Holly Hack */ So just a minor alteration on the clearfix hack i put in your css file. If you want any more examples of uses for the fix there's a template i'm working on a site with a collapsable layout for the categories here: http://www.thebusinesscommunity.co.uk/templates/westpennine/ I could just clear the footer but you get more control over the positioning and margins on an element that contains floats (such as a list) this way. Hope I haven't confused you at all, Rob Joanie Mae wrote: > It works!
