Default IE float bug? help please - 12-08-2005 , 08:23 AM






Hi,
http://www.computertime-az.it/3c/
works fine in Firefox, not the same in IE... another float bug :-(

any idea on how to solve it?
it seems to be something related to the 3 px paragraph IE bug (reducing the
right container width by 3 px works in IE too).

Many thanks for any advice

Nicola

It would seem to be a combination of the H1 trick plus your position:
relative declarations. Did you not test it in IE first :-) Post back in
the other thread you started yesterday and if you can't get it working,
I'll take a closer look.

Hi Al,
thank you very much for your reply.

What about the solution adopted? (both the divs floating... it seems to
work). Any issue with it?
Or... what can I do to solve the H1 problem switching back to the old
positioning system I was using before?

Best regards
Nicola

Possibly.

The page is currently simple enough that you might be better off
rebuilding it. If you're up to that, here's how I would approach it.

Add your elements and structure - but no spans, yet :-)

Place your embedded images inside DIVs, as thay will be easier to manage
and position.

Get your columns floated, testing in IE6 first.

Once the columns are floating correctly in IE, test in Firefox. It
should be OK.

Style your navbar. Don't float the LIs or A's. You have a vertical
navbar, so get them styled first, using display: block and zeroing out
the margins and padding. Fix the vertical gaps in IE later, using
conditional comments.

Do not position anything relatively.

Save the hiding of the H1 text for last. Make sure everything is working
in all browsers before tackling that.

Take a couple of aspirin and post back if you are having any problems.

It sound a bit long and complicated... I'll keep it as the last chance for
me :-D

Let me know if the solution with both floats may be good...
and sorry if we are talking "in stereo" :-D (on both ng)

Thank you very much
Nicola

No problem. I made a quick test page for you and posted it on our
newsgroup.
