IE7 Hack?
Posted: Mon Oct 16, 2006 9:37 am
I'm having trouble with a layout in IE7 that behaves fine in both IE6 and Firefox and only has minor issues in
Safari and Opera.
I put two floating divs as two columns in a containing div so that as either column expanded vertically the wrapping div would expand to the height of which ever was greater.
Then I put a footer div below this with clear:both just for good measure. If you look at http://www.stevenson.uk.com you'll hopefully see that in IE7 only the footer div appears way up the page and I don't know why.
Can anyone explain why, or contribute a hack that only IE7 and not IE6 will read so I can force the footer down maybe using absolute positioning as a last resort?
I really struggle when it comes to getting wrapping divs to expand nicely when nested divs inside them expand, what's the secret?
