David and Paul, Sorry, I clicked on the link in the line "C.2.50 Section 9.5 Floats" and didn't see the change referenced. Re-reading the message, I see the proper reference and yes, I do now see the reference that floats are no longer required to have an explicit width. Thanks for correcting me. So, floats are NOT required to have an explicit width means that Paul is correct... the warning is in error. Re the earlier issue, yes, you're right, it seems to have gone away. Just know it used to be a problem so thought it worth mentioning in case someone is trying to reach the widest audience. The other thing that is affected if one doesn't add an explicit width is the "text-align." We had some items we wanted centered and it only worked once we added the explicit width. Trying to create a horizontal menu that is centered on the page using floated list elements doesn't work without declaring a width. It would be nice if it did. --Doug
