Scott, Sorry, I was too rushy. Don't move your quote. Just give it a width and float left your "content" div.
-----Message d'origine----- De : [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] la part de Scott Reston Envoyé : mercredi 25 mai 2005 16:51 À : wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Objet : [WSG] the mysteries of float - i seek enlightenment I've created a pared down example to illustrate a problem I'm having with floats. My confusion suggests that I'm missing some basic concept of how floats behave and I'm finding it frustrating... http://www.capstrat.com/development/test-float.html In this example, all code is wrapped with a containing div (yellow background). The two side-bar divs live (code-wise) just before the content div (dark grey backround), just inside the container div and are floated right. The pull-quote (violet background) is the first thing inside of the content div. I'm expecting this to look the way that IE renders it: sidebars to the right, pull-quoute in the upper-left corner of the content div. In Firefox, the pullquote drops within the content to clear the first sidebar. Why? Can someone give me a little guidance on this?
