As far as I read CSS 2, that should actually be rendered with the cleared text vertically below the floated text. If that is so, it doesn't make much sense to me. > (Do you mean that it only clears blocks from floats that are > floating from the same normal flow that contains the block?) Heh, I've run into trouble with this one, I'm not entirely sure *what* I mean. I originally found that Opera 7 beta 1 rendered the image on http://tom.me.uk/2002/11/op7-float-test.html different to IE/Gecko, and was going to file a bug, but it seemed that Opera was actually correct (is it?). But I think your description is along the lines that I'm thinking, yes. Cheers -- Tom Gilder http://tom.me.uk/
