Div Adjusting

I dont think I have any specific examples to hand, but trust me float: right has caused me a few hours of head scratching in the past! Anywho like you say its probably not the issue with this perticular problem as form a quick browser check it seems to render the same across ie 6/7/8 ff etc

Look at the page.
Changed the Class:bg_sidebar MARGIN-TOP: 0px
now add 50px to that you’ll see the ID:BG_sidebar moving but I don’t want it to move I want it to stay in the original position (for now) that it was when that rule was set to 0px

Well until I see something to back it up please forgive me for being a skeptical person :slight_smile:

I set .bg_sidebars margin-top to 0. Then I increased it to 50px…it wasn’t moving.

Setup 2 different pages showing the move. Aka use the same code but do wahtever change you do to show them in a differnet place. Do test1.html and test2.html for example :slight_smile:

I vaguely remember issues with right floats but that was long ago when I was first starting… it’s likely something that I learned to code around and never see it much any more (I do still run into it when I’m doing weird box positioning such as in my horizontal site. Float right is definitely a nono in IE on those!!)

I’ve read this whole thread and I can’t make heads or tails of what’s going on. : (

I’m still waiting for examples of these :rolleyes:

[ot]Can’t give you an example of something vaguely remembered, but you can take my code from a page (stoopid google) and add a right float in the overflow section. It’s mostly IE didn’t like the lack of set width on the overflow box, so a right float would stretch the page width to a bazillion pixels. Before I refactored the code, I had IE giving some elements a really large left margin while the better browsers got a right float. Basically I just tried to use left floats instead.

There was a similar issue I think only IE6 with widthless absolutely positioned containers and right floats inside them. The problem would likely also occur if you had align=right and was really caused by IE not knowing what to do with widthless containers rather than the float itself.[/ot]

Off Topic:

That page is useless to me unless it’s broken :lol:

I’ve got it the way I need it for now !

awesome! Any chance you could let us know what it was that was causing the problem? I’m intrigued!

I had just played around with the positioning it looks fine in IE and FF3.X :slight_smile:
