On Having Layout
I spent several hours today sorting out an IE7 CSS bug that was solved by the concepts described in this article -- On Having Layout.I'm adding this here as a bookmark but also as a heads up for other programmers dealing with CSS related IE6/7 bugs.
"A lot of Internet Explorer's rendering inconsistencies can be fixed by giving an element “layout.â€" Who knew you had to give IE layout??
----------------------
To give layout to IE6 and lower use the underscore hack:
.gainlayout { _height: 0; }
or use the IE6 conditional
<!--[if lte IE 6]><style>.gainlayout { height: 1px; }</style><![endif]-->
----------------------
To give layout to IE7 use the min-height property:
.gainlayout { min-height: 0; }
or use the IE7 conditional
<!--[if IE 7]><style>.gainlayout { zoom: 1; }</style><![endif]-->
