Taken this code: [code] <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" > <head> <title>Test</title> <style type="text/css"> #show p{ display:block; position:relative; background-color:#bef; margin:0px; padding:0px; border:1px solid black; /height:.1em;/ } #show span.float{ float:left; } #show img{ border:1px solid red; float:right; } </style> </head> <body> <div id="show"> <p> <span class="float">This is a text. This is a text. This is a text. This is a text. This is a text.</span> <img src="." width="50" height="50" /> </p> <p> <span class="float">This is a text. This is a text. This is a text. This is a text. This is a text.</span> <img src="." width="50" height="50" /> </p> </div> </body> </html> [/code] (Notice the commented block in the style zone.) According to the specs, if I make the img and the span floating, they shouldn't count on the computed size of the parent p element, right? So the p elemen must be one pixel height, right? So... fact is that this behavior is only seen in... ie6!! Opera 7 and mozilla 1.2.1 DOES count the size of the floating elements when computing p size! WORST: when I uncomment the commented style line,(notice the 0.1em that is ridiculous...) ie suddendly compute p size like opera and mozilla! BUT whith a 1 pixel gap on the right! THAT really bugs me... :( If anyone have explanations/hack/aso for me, I will be glad to ear from you! :) Tnx, omera Loading...
