Hi, I have some container for column and formular design. The div
container need the overflow:hidden attribute. A<label>  has a CSS
hover definition and shows a hidden help information. This "bubble

definition. The "bubble help" is absolute positioned. Does someone
know, how to avoid this kind of clipping?

[code snipped]

I'm guessing that the AP help is partly outside the DIV that has
"overflow: hidden;" on it? I'm also guessing you are using overflow in
order to contain floats.

With these bold assumptions, I suggest using something other than
"overflow: hidden;" to contain floats, as anything inside, positioned
outside, will have the overflow--umm--hidden.

These properties also establish a new block-formatting context just as
"overflow: hidden;" does. It depends on your layout as to which is best:

overflow: auto
float (left or right)
position: absolute
display: inline-block
display: table-cell

Hope this helps.

Cordially,
David
