Text in H3 tag is missing when using CSS

[Linda Jimerson]

Hi - I'm using xhtml 1.0 and css 2.0 to code my website. I've run into an odd
problem. I have a simple <h3> element (centered) under my photo, but as you can see Iin FIREFOX, Opera and Netscape) the first word of my <h3> header is tossed to the right top of larger div. Can anyone help. It seems like this only happens when the first word is very short (two or three chars). Thanks sooo much. linda

This question should be in the HTML / CSS forum.

Also happens in IE 6. The word 'la' is displayed just after the top right of the image. Must have to do with 'clear' attribute.

Thank you for looking. And, I apologize for posting this twice (I had entered the first and then couldn't find it).

When I add 'clear: both;' to my h3 tag, the text stays together. Thank you again.

I apologize - I had entered my problem (the first time) and then couldn't find it.

I did get really good info. Adding clear: both; to my h3 tag seems to have resolved my problem. Linda JImerson

Thanks for your "Clear" info - it fixed my problem. Do you know why this happens - it seems a bit odd. Thank you again. Linda JImerson

Strictly speaking not a double post as the OP originally posted in 2 separate forums. The double post effect was created when a mod moved 1 post to the same forum as the other.

Anyway I have merged the threads to reduce confusion.

Thanks Banfa,
Linda have you fixed the clearing problem yet????????

[Linda Jimerson]

Thanks Banfa,
Linda have you fixed the clearing problem yet????????

Yes - using clear (both) immediately resolved the problem.

What can I do to thank you all (besides posting properly - in the right category). This was invaluable info and I really appreciate the help. Thank you.
