    Exclamation eh, forgot the declaration

    eeh, forgot the declaration

    Code:
    div.clearer
    {
     clear:both;
     height:1px;
    }
    But pretty much any float clearing method will do (by the way this is regarding the white background not going far enough, not regarding the flash fix)

    Red face Man, I feel like flooder now.... :spam:

    Sorry for so many posts, but the background doesn't go all the way out only on my local copy false alarm, but at least I got a chance to tell you to remove #container{height:100%;} what is this for? doesn't do any good as I see it, did you mean min-height ( http://w3.org/TR/CSS21/visudet.html#propdef-min-height )? Yeah stupid IE < 7 doesn't support it, but the fix is trivial:
    Code:
    CSS:
    
    #container {min-height: 100%;}
    
    ....................................................
    HTML: 
    
    <html>
         <head>
             <!--[if lt IE 7]>
                   <style type="text/css">
                            #container {height: 100%;}
                   </style>
             <![endif]-->
         </head>
    ...
    Keep in mind that 100% is not exactly what you want find something that doesn't give you scrollbars on a page without scrollbars :

    First of all you said you were not old enough to drink, so put the beer down.

    Second of all, thanks for confusing the hell out of me.

    Third, I will absorb this and report back to you after i have frustrated myself for numerous hours I am sure.

    Cheers. Now I am off for a beer. Now where did that beer smiley go.....

    Basically, you have <embed .... height="240" width="320" ....>
    for your flash, and the specs say that CSS should override element's attributes, therefore when you used #contentf * {height:auto!important;} instead of height=240, width=320, you were getting height: auto, width: auto; for it, and when you put
    Code:
    #contentf embed
    {
        height: 240px!important; 
        width: 320px!important;
    }
    you pretty much put the height and width back as it is specified with parameters. since this selector is more specific then #contentf
    And as far as the #container{height:100%} goes, well just create an empty page with a div and put height:100% on it and see what happens
    cheers...

    What do you mean impossible? just put this in your stylesheet:
    #contentf *
    {
    height:auto!important;
    }

    #contentf embed#flash
    {
    height: 240px!important;
    width: 320px!important;
    } And you are done!

    Well, as I understood from his e-mail he is busy and is not planning on doing so right now...

    I tried it like a bagillion times with all sorts of different varients.
    DOH!


    Its either:

    1. The flash gets scrunched up and pixellated and the footer stays put
    OR
    2. The footer floats around and the flash looks like it was intended.

    I uploaded your suggested fixes so you can see the working footer and bad flash.

    IE7 who needs it!

    selects an <embed> element with an id="flash" so either add an ID to that flash or use #contentf embed if you don't have any other <embed> elements in that container... cheers

    P.S.: Never say "it's impossible..."

    Wink Yup

    Nothing looks stretched except for the Flash, because *someone* doesn't select it properly

    What browser by the way?

    I suggest we rename this thread to "CSS Problems and Solutions"

    Here is my problem:

    Why does IE 7 instead of scaling the fonts the way normal browsers do scales everything on the page thus totally breaking the layout?

    Here is one that I sort of know a fix, but was looking for some one-liner:
    http://zoffix.com/css/ie/condcom.html How can I make Lynx display the table on that page a bit prettier so you could see that it is a table (come on table people, you love your tables so much this should be a no brainer to you )
