Hi there, I'm writing a CSS2 capable browser and have a question.
The standard says that floating boxes are "outside the flow", does this mean
that if I have a box which floats to the left and a following (block level)
box which is taller, then the text in the following box should no longer be
indented, when the y position of the generated linebox is below the floating
object?
I.e. this code:
<Div Style="float: left; width: 100px">Little box floating.</Div>
<Div>A lot of text in the following box...</Div>
Should be rendered as:
Little box | A lot of
floating | text in
-----------+ the
following box...
Rather than:
Little box | A lot of
floating | text in
-----------+ the
following
box...
Further more, if the following box is given a border, should it then be
rendered over the floating box? I.e. to surround all of the text shown in the
first example.
Regards Allan
