Beyond Repair
I love junk. So I’ve created a Flickr group (Beyond Repair) for pictures of things so far gone they’re not likely to recover.
If you’ve got any pictures that fit the bill (and a Flickr account…) please sign up and add them to the group.
Oh, I see I have to write some more so the image doesn’t overflow the story box. Gotta love CSS eh? I mean, I do like CSS. I just can’t help thinking that if they were designing it from scratch now they’d do a few things differently.
I spent three hours last night converting a fairly simple table based layout to CSS and along the way triggered all sorts of bizarre browser bugs. At one point I had Safari rendering the page non-deterministically: on one refresh it’d render as expected and on the next it’d leave a huge amount of whitespace at the bottom of a fairly innocuous DIV. Ho hum.

Which browsers DO render it properly? Not IE, Firefox or Safari, that’s for sure.

Firefox does for the most part. IE gets a lot of things wrong.
Andy - does the content box have a defined dimension? (i.e. does it have a width or height attribute?) If so, set overflow to hidden and it should happily contain any floats. eg:
#foobar { width: 100%; overflow: hidden; }

[…] needs to be taken out behind the barn and beaten with a baseball bat. I have been up all night, monkeying around with 3 pixel jogs (kinky acrobatic sex) and hacking my box (w00t!) models to get this design to work. I’ve got style sheets out the HooHa for three different style pages (design requirement) and special ones just for Micro$shaft IE so I can get it to sorta-kinda pass through a validator with as few warnings and errors as possible.
