I am having the weirdest behavior in IE7 on this page.
I have a clear: left
on #moored
that makes sure that #content-container
will expand to the height of the float: left
'd #content
.
Of course, Firefox and IE8 do it right.
The weird thing though, is in IE7, it appears that #content-container
is automatically expanding to contain the #secondary-content
, which it shouldn't.
Even weirder is when I view with IE8 with developer tools, the boundary boxes seem to show the that the #content-container
is the expanding to the height of the #secondary-container
, even though the background: #fff
tells a different story.
The background goes to where it should, and the void is now black.
I've Googled a bit and came across heaps of similar float bugs, but I don't think I've found one which offers a fix yet for this circumstance.
Can anyone please help me?
