Hi,
I have a row of 5 <DIVelements that have the "float: left" attribute
as I wanted them on the same row. I issue a "clear: left" for the
subsequent element.
All looks great except if I increase the browser text size of contract
the screen, the last DIV floats underneath. Is there anyway to stop
this and keep all on the same row?
Thanks,
Don 13  4277

Not really. Since the observed "phenomenon " is how floats work. Perhaps
you can enlarge the container containing the floats (or scale it in
"em", too).

Wrap them in another div of a fixed width set with ems.

This is what float does. If you want to force the grid positioning,
even when it no longer fits into the window size, then use a <table>
instead.
Read http://brainjar.com/css/positioning/ for a good article of float
too.

FYI, ems are not a one-size-fits-all unit.
It wouldn't be the best unit to use unless the content were all text,
and it's debatable even then. % units would allow the widths to scale to
the window size, and px should be used for graphical content.
The best unit to use depends on the specific content and the overall
design/layout.
If the OP posted a URL it would be easier to make a suggestion for his
particular case.

So use Inch, inch is a one-size-fits-all unit. On normal screens
an inch is the same or a little bigger than one inch. It depends
on your configuration. On a cellurar phone or a pda, an inch is
not an inch, but something that looks like an inch (considering
that you are holding the device closer to your eyes, and con-
sidering that the letters has to be at least 8-9 pixels height). It
would be different from device to device. But the idea isn't mine.
Teoretical the graphical would match the letters, but that would
never happen.

How come? Isn't that defined in css? I would think that 100% is 100%
of the containing element. So how would that differ?

I think most can agree with that.

If the OP postet an URL, we all could use ower effort to criticise the
content.
That would be nice.

For once I agree with Andy Dingley. If you want a table layout, use
tables. In most cases thats better than emulatin tables with div-
elements.
Don't rely on lynx or text-emulation if you are trying to design
accessible
sites. Most, and every "disabled" person is using a screen reader on
top
of an ordinary webbrowser. It can't be that hard to download and try
out
one for yourself. If you've tryed one, you know that now one is
tabbing around
and hope for some interesting to appear.

The OP mentioned changing the text size and having the layout degrade. I
assumed he has text in the divs making ems an appropriate unit to recommend.

I guess I missed that part, but it doesn't change the fact that a fixed
width in ems may not be the best thing to do. It depends on the content.
There's another thread in here someplace about a layout with a fixed
width of 60ems. Bad, bad idea, except for people using small default
font sizes.

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...

In some program I was testing if a variable was a boolean, with this

So I changed my test for the obvious "if type(v) is bool", but I still

I have a couple of questions for the number crunchers out there:
Does "pow(x,2)" simply square x, or does it first compute logarithms
(as would be necessary if the exponent were not an integer)?
Does "x**0.5" use the same algorithm as "sqrt(x)", or does it use some
other (perhaps less efficient) algorithm based on logarithms?
Thanks,
