IE 6.0 completely ignores the float. My new and not-quite-working stylesheet looks something like this: [code] table.fancytable, table.fancytable tr, table.fancytable td { display:block; text-align:center; } table.fancytable td { float:left; width:33%; } table.fancytable td.description { width:100%; float:right; clear:both; } [/code] At first I wasn't sure if IE was ignoring my display or my float. I set the td.description to display:none and it actually worked as expected. Furthermore, when I set table.fancytable td to float:right (and then I also tried float:right + clear:right) I got absolutely no change in IE. This leads me to believe that IE ignores the float style when applied to table stuff. This doesn't actually surprise me as IE has been known to have other float issues. Finally, I went looking at the microsoft website and found [url=http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/properties/float.asp]this page[/url] on Uncle Bill's interpretation of the float property. If you look down near the bottom, there is a list of elements to which the float property applies. TD ain't one of them. Maybe I'm just out o' luck. Loading...
