Re: FN-FORUM: IE problem (what else)

Hi David,

You may well find that the problem has to do with clearing. IE6 has
some real issues with positioning in floated layouts, so if you are
using floats then it is a really good idea to use clearing. I have a
general style called clearboth that looks like this:

.clearboth {
clear: both;
}

and I use it like this:


Also, I would definitely try to radically cut down on the number of
style sheets you are using, and try to get away without using any
hacks until you know you have to use them.

Regards,


Ian.
