float:right difference between IE and mozilla

toylet · Mar 5, 2004

I want a big title bar with a navigation bar beneath it, floated right.
But float:right under IE6 appended a <BR> after the floated text. How
could I get around it?

I also attached the small html file. Notice the lower right corner of
the box, as displayed under mozilla and IE6.

Play with the margins and/or padding on both divs. (E.g. try setting
them both to 0, then adjust to taste)

I also attached the small html file.

Please don't post binary files to non-binary newsgroups. The URL is
enough.

I meant the html codes, not the image of the webpage.

I tried, but didn't help. Why does IE append a <BR>?

It doesn't. Can you see a <br> in the source? I can't.

It seems to be something to do with the absolute positioning. Why not
show us what you are really trying to do (i.e. on a real page)? That
will make it easier to suggest solutions/alternatives.

Is there an alternative way to specify float:right?

Depends what you are really trying to achieve. See above.

An attachment _is_ a binary file. Text-only is the order of the day
here.

It's an invisible one. I should have been more specific.

I want to use CSS to render a box like this:

+------------------------------------------------------+
| BIG HEADING TEXT |
| menu1 | menu2 | menu3 |
+------------------------------------------------------+

I used two <div>, one <topbar> for the "BIG HEADING", and one <barmnu>
for the 3 menu. <barmnu> floats right. ON mozilla, the page was

disaplayed properly. On IE6 said:

I just attached a text file, not a binary.

My point is that it is not actually a line break.

Something like this?

But it was still an attachment.

yes. thank you for your example. What's the use of the "clear:both"?

But it was still an attachment.

Textual attachment makes no harm.

It does. Any form of MIME attachment requires a MIME compliant newsreader.
Many newsreaders do not support MIME. If you attach things to posts,
people using these clients will see various ugly gubbins in your post,
such as:

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
--------------050402000800030208060300
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Luckily in this case, Mozilla chose to use 7bit for the message and
attachment, so the damage wasn't too bad, but had it used, say, base64,
things would have been a whole lot worse and your whole message may have
been unreadable.
