Dear Group,
The Site under the following link
( http://tomasio.laudatio.com/temp/schiepek/index.html) displays as I
want it to in IE 6 (under Win XP) but does not render correctly in
Firefox 1.0. As usually Firefox does HTML and CSS better than IE, I
would like to know what kind of mistake I made in coding the site.
I think it has to do with the "float"-property in the text selectors
(copy, h1, h2). the width of the text seems to be consumed by the
width of the image to its left in firefox :(
Please help, I need to fix this very urgently.
Kind regards

Hi Brian,
As you seem not to read posts till the end, I deleted most of your
reaction. You know your text and the sense it makes.
I apologized for my behaviour in a previous thread already. Go through
the thread and you may find it.
What really made me curious is the thing about my "broken"
sig-delimiter. especially as i am using NG since about one year now,
and did not change it since then. furthermore, nobody ever complained
about it and in my newsreader (agent) it appears correctly.

Apologizing doesn't mean the other person has to like you at an instand.

Try replying to your own post and see what happens to your signature. It
gets included in the quoted text. It is supposed to disappear. That's what
that separator is for.
Fix it and make friends. Google for it (Outlook Express en sig separator
or something; I don't know, I don't use Outlook Express)

Your delimiter is:

It should be:
--[SPACE]
There's a space after the two '-'s. Without that, the signature appears in
the reply. With the space, it is automatically dropped.

Like this. Reply and see for yourself. See where the post is cut off, and
the sig begins.

Thank you, Brian. I changed the sig and added the missing space. If I

i.e. "dashdashspacen ewline"
If you use a Usenet conforming user agent to reply to a post, that agent
will use the above character sequence as a signal to cut out the rest of
your post, usually your signature, so that it does not get posted in
replies over and over again.
As you have already figured out, Microsoft decided that this old Usenet
common convention should be broken in OE, just to set an MS "signature"
on that particular product.
They invented a most inviting form of "reply to message" template too,
where the naive user will just start typing where s/he is invited to do
so, with the dreaded "top post" as a result and, where just about
everything that has already been said in a thread gets posted over and
over again hanging as a tail on the last post in the thread.
Needless to say, if one comes in to an all top-posted thread that has
been going for a while, it is close to impossible to find out who said
what and in what context. It is really confusing and usually shunned by
experienced usenauts.

Funny, Opera does the same thing - the cursor starts on top. It's never
been a problem for me to do it correctly. I feel "quote-fix" patches which
move the cursor to the bottom might promote bottom-posting but they also
promote failure to snip extra unneeded text.

My Signature sits here for as many lines it contains
and the original message, including its signature, is
hanging below this point. Jan Roland Eriksson wrote: They invented a most inviting form of "reply to message" template too,

Most news readers do that AFAIK. The problem with OE is that it stuffs
the signature in between the starting cursor pos and the rest of the
message so the sig becomes a "psychologi cal barrier" that prevents
people to go on to selectively comment on the original message.
It's never been a problem for me to do it correctly...
In the case of OE it requires one to cut out ones own signature and
paste it back at the very bottom of the original message before one
can start to edit and reply to a message.

Hi group,
I have some problems with clearing floated divs. My usual method works fine in Konqueror, but not in Firefox. Here's an example:

<div id='left' style='float:left; border:1px solid red;'>Floated left</div>
<div id='right' style='float:right; border:1px solid blue;'>Floated right</div>

Please open http://www.highscore.de/opera/floatleft.html in Opera 7.54 and
Firefox 1.0 Preview. Who is right?
In my humble opinion Opera 7.54 is right: According to CSS 2.1 a "floating
box must be placed as high as possible" (see
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visuren.html#float-position rule #8). Do you
agree?
BTW, Internet Explorer 6 behaves like Opera 7.54.

In MSIE table captions are displayed at the same size as content. But
in Firefox the text displays at browser default, It also exceeds the
width of the table and the excess is hidden if the table is enclosed in
a bounding div.
If caption is given a font-size (eg 0.8em) with CSS text it displays
correctly, however MSIE then shows the text too small.

It is simply styled with floating divs.
Two floating divs are in a container, and they look fine, until I
