Tutorial 21: CSS Floats, Part II
| ||||
|
|
Summary
In this tutorial, you learned how to create multiple columns using floats, and also why you shouldn't; this technique triggers bugs in Internet Explorer 4.0 and Navigator 4.0 that can't be worked around. You also learned how to create normal flows that work with all current browsers, working around a small bug in Internet Explorer 4.0.
Exercises
Spot the bug
There is a small and almost unnoticeable bug in Internet Explorer 5.0's rendition of our first technique. Can you find it?
Clearing things up
We've set the clear property on the footer element in both our techniques. Why have we done this? Can you find a scenario in which it is needed to keep the layout consistent?
