"div.scroll" does not float below background-image in Firefox

**morty** · Apr 2, 2006 10:40

I am using a nice "div.scroll" in my layout. Unfortunately it does not work 100% in Firefox, no problems in IE and Opera! In Firefox the scrollfield is above a background-image!?

Does anyone have experience with that? I would appreciate any helpful ideas!

Thanks!

Hello

floats are not cleared in outside and wrap
head+body #outside:after,head+body #wrap:after{
content:".";
display:block;
height:0;
clear:both;
visibility:hidden;
}

the float is not meantained
.scroll {float:right;

set all default padding and margins to 0, then adjust
*{margin:0;padding:0;}

Thanks for the help, but I can't figure what you are trying to tell me...

It does not help if I assign "clear:both" to "outside" and "wrap".

floats are not cleared in outside and wrap
head+body #outside:after,head+body #wrap:after{
content:".";
display:block;
height:0;
clear:both;
visibility:hidden;
}

the float is not meantained
.scroll {float:right;

Thanks "4allnerds"!

But it already works without:

HTML Code:

head+body #outside:after,head+body #wrap:after{
content:".";
display:block;
height:0;
clear:both;
visibility:hidden;
}

Adding "float:right;" to "div.scroll" seems to do it!
I tested it in IE, Firefox and Opera.
