nogray Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 If you want IE to center you div by using the margins, you need to include the document declartion[code]<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">[/code]If you floating HTML elements, you'll need to clear them before closing the holding divSo, something like this in the style[code].clear_float {clear:both;height:1px;overflow:hidden;[/code]and you middel section will look like this[code]<div id="middle"> middle <div id="middle-top"> middle top </div> <div id="left"> left </div> <div id="right"> right </div> <div class="clear_float"> </div> </div>[/code] Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/13336-positioning-and-float-problem/#findComment-51437 Share on other sites More sharing options...
