Death By Style Redux 1

I think I have the left background float problem licked. “wordwrapping certain text (font-specific) with italicized periods within div with margin and/or border within floated div within div” breaks the outer div’s left background-image margin, and causes some other render issues, based around IE’s broken box model I think. It also doesn’t handle clear: properly of the float.

The solution: float:left the entire encapsulating page frame, causing it to wrap around the inner floats and expand to encompass them. I can turn on italics again. Now clear:both works for the footer. Mozilla1.7.2 and IE6 are displaying the same. I’m in class, without Firefox, so I can’t do a final test. IE is showing a pointless horizontal scrollbar exactly 1em to the right, despite nothing being over there. This is bearable, but I might be able to play with the page frame’s margins to correct it.

_Quinn, how does it look in Netscape4.x?
