You turn those spans into floats, which means they are no longer contained in their div. I've turned your example into a page... <http://www.gunlaug.no/tos/alien/test_07_2590.html> ...and styled the first div to 'contain floats' - by turning the div itself into a 100% wide float. Floats will expand to contain floating children, as long as they are /allowed/ to expand to do so. Thus, no height set on that div. This demonstrates just _one_ of the methods available for 'containing floats', but it should make the concept of 'containing floats' understandable. regards Georg -- http://www.gunlaug.no ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
