Internet Explorer Bugs - kinda like a guest columnist

.

The regularity of stop-me-in-my-tracks IE bugs is starting to drag.

IE Clear Bug Screenshot

The photograph is set to float on the right, the text in <div> tags is set to clear on the left only. Firefox and Opera happily wrap around the photo; Internet Explorer makes the fricking box bigger, pushing the news content down the page.

I tolerate most bugs and work around them, but this ones makes the layout truely unacceptable. I hate it.

    I know exactly what you mean.

    Check out this page (it is not mine), which has a very good hack/fix for that bug.
    Oh how I hate IE. Thank heavens for Firefox.

    Mr Tauron – thankyouverymuch!

    I must admit I don’t spend an awful lot of time reading up on IE hacks – I make common use of * html for content masking, but little else. It’s a lot of effort to go to!

    That hollyhack does seem pretty clean though, which seems good as far as I’m concerned! I’m planning to bump ResinTheBand onto a b2Evolution powered CMS sometime soon so I may well experiment with that hack in the near future. Thank you.
