Images breaking div

Question posted by: andrew (Guest) on June 27th, 2008 07:19 PM
Hi,

I am working on a page:

http://www.andrews-corner.org/test/

and I am having a little trouble with the footer div in that the images will
break the div with high display settings. Am I going about
this the right way?

I realise that it may seem a little inflammatory to have the W3C icons
in place but these have been requested. My aplogies in advance :-)

What exactly do you mean by "high display settings?"

The footer (and the page) looks fine to me.
Ubuntu, Firefox 3.0b5, Opera 9.27

Hi Andrew,

Add overflow: hidden; on your #footer. You might need a simple clearing
div for IE6.

This fixes for modern browsers:

<div id="footer" style="overflow: hidden;">

You can see what he means if you make the text size real small! <g>

Real small... who'da thunk it? Well, by now he must have fixed
whatever was happening, as going so small as to have the whole page
taking up a mere two-inch square, the footer doesn't do anything odd.

Read the fix I gave him. There is no need to go to such smallness to see
the problem, the icons overflow the big wrapper border at some browser
settings.
