RE: [WSG] a better tsolution than oveflow:auto for Mozilla?

[Drake, Ted C.]

Hi Bruce Try floating the content div instead. I've often found this to be the easiest fix. A floated parent will contain its floated children.   I've been writing a document for my fellow programmers about nested lists and if write parent/child one more time I think I'm going to change my name to Dr. Seuss.   Ted     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bruce Gilbert Sent: Tuesday, September 27, 2005 10:50 AM To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Subject: [WSG] a better tsolution than oveflow:auto for Mozilla?   Hello, on a new site I am working on (http://www.fortuneinteractive.com/) in Mozilla/FF. you get the horizontal and vertical scroll bars on some of the pages and I know the reason why. It is because I am overflow:auto on my content div. I added this after googling and finding this was a float clearing solver. the content div has the following CSS: div>#text_area{/*hiding from IE*/ background:url(bg_text_area.jpg) repeat-y; color:#333; text-align:left; border:0; padding-top:2em; margin:0; height:100%; overflow:auto; } If I don't have the overflow:auto  in FF/moz the div doesn't extend all the way to the footer like I want (the div in question is #text_area). Any suugestions on solving this problem in Mozilla, FF?   let me know if I need to provide additional information... full CSS: http://www.fortuneinteractive.com/main.css -- ::Bruce::
