Default Navigator and floats - 07-20-2004 , 09:11 AM






I have set up a site in Dreamweaver using CSS. I have a #leftnav div, which is
floated left followed by a #maincontent with a left margin of 240px to ensure
contnet clear the #leftnav.

In IE 6 everything work fine but in Navigator 7 its impossible to select the
links within the #leftnav. These are just normal text links. The #leftnav div
is not positioned but had a width of 190px and padding of 10px, margin 0. If I
change the positioning to absoulte everthing works in Navigator and links are
fine, but as soon as I reset to float: left I cannot select the links except of
the first letter. I have re-checked by code several times and reviewed the CSS
but everything is fine. Is this a known bug in Navigator?

I have found the issue and it may be beneficial for others to be ware.

Above my #leftnav I have an absolutely positioned div in my banner with some
text. If I remove this Div or just change it to relative positioning, then
navigator works fine with the links in the floated #leftnav. There is no logic
to this whatsoever an I have no idea why Navigator should behave like this but
it does.

Probably your absolutely positioned division is covering or masking your
floated division's contents. Try giving that AP div a background color to
see.
