This means that #main won't expand downwards since there are only floats inside it. Add a property that will establish a new 'block formatting context'[1]... #main {display: table;} ....or alternatively... #main {overflow: hidden;} * html #main {overflow: visible;} ....and the standard compliant browsers will get the message and "expand to contain floats". IE/win (all versions) has its 'hasLayout'[2] bug, so it expands no matter what. We just have to protect older IE/win versions from their 'overflow' bugs if the second alternative is used. regards Georg [1]http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visuren.html#q15 [2]http://www.satzansatz.de/cssd/onhavinglayout.html -- http://www.gunlaug.no ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL-REMOVED]] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
