Hello all,
I am currently working on a 2 column layout in which the smaller column
is fixed at 100px, and the larger column takes up the remaining space.
In Gecko browsers (Firefox, Netscape, Mozilla) sometimes the smaller
columns juts out to the right of the container 1px, and sometimes
doesn't reach the end by 1px. You can observe the phenomenon at
http:/www.digitalover tone.com/examples/floatprob.php. All the CSS is in
the header. Observe how the problem disappears or reverses as you
resize the window. This doesn't happen in IE, Opera, or Safari, but
does appear to occur on Gecko browsers on Windows and Mac.
Any thoughts on how to correct this?
Many thanks,
Kyle

Right you are. The closing </html> tag has been added (I know it's a
matter of principle, but was it even a *possibility* that this was the
problem?). Apologies for forcing you to correct my errors. You will
hopefully forgive a frustrated user for copy-and-pasting a little
hastily. Or perhaps you won't - I had forgotten how deliciously
aggressive Usenet can be.
All is correct and valid now, but the problem still exists. I ended up
taking the layout I was working on in a different direction, but I am
still interested in this effect if anyone knows anything. It's possible
it has nothing to do with CSS at all and is simply a browser quirk.

Unlikely, but it prevented us from checking your css for errors (the w3c
css checker refuses to run on invalid xhtml).

It's a Gecko quirk triggered by the reduced width of "container" the
nested float and the "margin:0 auto" set on "container" .
Next time reduce an issue down to the minimum, this helps you to see
what's going on, you won't waste other people's time when you ask for
help, and it helps when submitting it as a bug.
You can submit this: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/spartan...ofloatprob.htm
as a bug @ Mozilla. (copy to your own web space first)

I've been happily chugging along thinking I understood floating divs
and now find that I know a lot less than I thought I did. And the
more I try "fixing" things, the worse it gets. A lot of what I'd been

IE), they look terrible.

Is it just me or does opera and ie not render the float style properly?
IE does a sucky job at it, but opera makes a total mess; Mozilla/Firefox
renders it correctly however. I'm just trying to be a good boy following
the html 4.01 strict spec, and taking it a step further by not using
tables for layout, but it's becoming a real pain. You would figure

Hi Folks,
I have 2 little problems:
1) http://birkenmaier.org/b.php
IE 6.0 does something weired here: in the red box the first lines of
text have a slight indet (2 or 3 pixels only). This seems to be
triggered by the floating box on the left (yellow), since only the text
lines that span the height of the floating box are affected.

If you display this using IE the margin between the left-middle blue

as high as expected.

Hi crowd,
Please have a look at this page, where I try to have a framed block next to
a floated one: http://yo.dan.free.fr/float_n_div.html
Above is the best result I got so far. Works in (decently recent) IE and
gecko-based browsers, unperfect in Opera. Below is what I try to avoid: the
border and the background of the grey block extend below the red square
(normal behaviour, but unpleasant one).

I know I've seen this issue described before, but I can't find it, or
the solution now that I need it.
I have some css-specified floating divs that contain images or text.
The text divs have a background color and text color that differ from
the rest of the page, and I'd like them to be positioned from the
right edge of the rightmost image div, to the right edge of the
browser window. In other words, if the browser window is 800 pixels...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
