Clear 3 out of 4 floats

426 256MB

I'm using floating division to create a 4 column layout. I'm floating the first column to the left to cotain the menu. Then I've got a second div which contains the last three divs. However I want to put a footer under those three but not the menu div but if I use a clear it puts it under the menu div. Is there a way to put it under just the three.

I hope the above makes it clear.

Are you sure the style is set up correctly?

Hey KeredDrahcir! It's been a while. :)

You're looking for something like this, right?

Obviously this is a fixed design. The only real issue is that it uses display: inline-block;, which screws with the design in IE7. To fix that you just need to use:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 #main .col { width: 155px; height: 460px; border: 1px solid purple; text-align: left; margin: 10px; display: inline-block; zoom: 1; *display: inline;}
