lilblackgirl -> problem in firefox only (5/1/2007 10:12:16)

for the life of me, i can't figure out why this is hosed in FF only. it looks fine in IE. Anyone have an idea what's causing the brochure div to get sucked into the navigation?

Not just IE - everything but IE!

Remove the height from the brochure rule (15px I think) that might fix it.

IE incorrectly expands stuff to allow content to fit. FF, Opera, Safari, Camino etc etc won't do that - they'll assume that if you say 15px high then that's what you mean. Be very careful giving elements heights - it's usually a bad idea because if the text size is increased by the viewer then it can break things plus it can lead to problems like this.

Or, you can do it with

#brochure {
width: 140px;
height: 15px;
float:left;
}


Then you need to sort out the search title.

Helena is right though. Avoid heights unless you absolutely need them.

Thanks Tail and Jay. I wasn't aware that a height would create a problem like that.

If i removed the height from brochure, then it doesn't get sucked into the navigation. Unfortunately, it appears differently in IE than FF. If i added the float option, in FF, the next div (search) attaches itself to the right side of the brochure div, even with a few line breaks attached to the end.

I'll leave it without the height restriction as it display 'most' normally that way.

For your info, in NS the text is black with a black background making that page unreadable.

It's ok for me in NN 7.2...

Must be a bug in my version 7.1 and fixed in 7.2

OK in 8.1 as well.
