Does ordering of elements matter? - 2/8/2006 15:22:49
I have been playing with the height attribute of a div. With my CSS like this:
<div style="border-style:solid;border-width:1px;border-color:#000000;height:100px">
IE (and Dreamweaver) ignores the height. However, if when I put the height element at the beginning like this:
<div style="height:100px;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;border-color:#000000;">
it sizes as it should. Are there some ordering rules?

It seems to matter. Try this:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Untitled Page</TITLE>
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<div style="border-style:solid;border-width:1px;border-color:#000000";height:70px;></div>
</BODY>
</HTML>
Then try this:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Untitled Page</TITLE>
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<div style="height:70px;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;border-color:#000000";></div>
</BODY>
</HTML>
An empty div with the height declared at the end of the style attribute seems to collapse, but when I put the height first, it does not, at least in IE.

My bad. I have my closing quote for the style attributes in the wrong place. Chalk it up to poor cut and paste!

Printable Version 
did you include a semicolon at the end of the first version as it's missing in the example above.
