Hope you can help me out on this one.
I have a a box that is floated right. Below (in the normal float) I
have a wide table.
<body>
<div style="float:ri ght; width:200px">.. .</div>
<p>This paragraph is showed correctly</p>
<table style="width:30 0px">
<tr><td>This table is not moved downwards in Firefox. </td></tr>
<tr><td>IE gets it right.</td></tr>
</table>
</body>
As I understand, the table is supposed move downwards until it is clear
of the float. IE gets it right, but Firefox renders it differently: The
table does not move down and table content is rendered on top of the
float.
I made a test page to illustrate the problem. http://visitjesper.homeip.net/test/c...at+tables.html
I also made screenshots to illustrate the problem.
IE 6 http://visitjesper.homeip.net/test/screenshot007.png
Firefox 1.0 http://visitjesper.homeip.net/test/screenshot008.png From the CSS2.1 spec I found this
"If a shortened line box is too small to contain any further content,
then it is shifted downward until either it fits or there are no more
floats present." http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visuren.html#floats
This makes me assume that Firefox gets it wrong.
Would you please help me here:
* Any ideas for a workaround so that Firefox moves the table downward?
* Confirm if this is a bug or not.
Any feedback appreciated!

There is no reason why the code you presented should have that effect,
however...

Here you wrap the floated element in another container, which is a little
different.

Bug in IE.
Are you sure? The first image was of FF and the other was from IE. (not
like the text beside link says, confuced me at least...)
It seems that it is bug in FF. That is, text should not overlap with
float. How this should be rendered is not as simple question, and IIRC,
Firebird 0.8 (Or was it Mozilla 1.0) had most right rendering, which also
looked most ugly... It started table where it should, and streched the
first row until lines in rightmost cells were under float.

Ah, kicks self for not looking at the screenshots and working from the
description alone. Not the problem I thought it was.

Thanks for your replies. I got a workaround suggestion on the CSS-d
mailing list:
/* float table left */
#floatholder>ta ble{float:left}
/* clear siblings free of table */
#floatholder>ta ble + * {clear:left}
I updated my test case to include the workaround John suggested. See it
here: http://visitjesper.homeip.net/test/c...httable02.html
The workaround is really well thought of, I think. But will this work
well when future browsers (IE) will support the syntax?

If it starts supporting > but does not +, then you have small problem.
Jou can try it by not using the second rule and testing on working
browser.

If you simply include to float the table left, the table will wrap and
there is no overlapping. This is so if the table is before or after the
box in which cases the box or the table will wrap respectively. FF
appears to have the wrapping problem only if the table is not floated
and has to be wrapped.

Yes, but text after table flows on side of table.

Beside the point (and correctable).

The second line in workaround is the correction.

I've been playing with CSS inline floats of <span> elements and the
