Klaus, Try adding height: 200px; to div#sidebar and you can see the problem. Floating div#content left or right solves that problem, but does mean the div's don't expand to fill the client area anymore :-( --rob On 7/16/07, Klaus Hartl [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Rob Desbois wrote: Klaus,

Aha, the solution failed in IE6 though! (Including your test page). A quick play shows the floating #sidebar and #content right instead of left, and putting #content before #sidebar in the source to fix the problem. I daren't go near Opera/Safari now ;-) --rob On 7/16/07, Rob Desbois [EMAIL

Rob, you must set the parents element to, with float! try: div#sidebar { float: left; width: 15%; } div#content { float: left; /* or right */ margin-left: 16%; display:inline; /* for duble margin in IE when left float */ } -- Viele Grüße, Olaf ---
