Float Problem With Ie5 Mac It Doesnt ...

[jlhaslip 4]

I have an HTML page that the client is viewing with an IE5 Mac and the title page includes a picture with the text material floated beside it. However, because the Browser she has is IE5 Mac, the float fails. Does anyone know of a hack to get IE5 Mac to accept the Float???This is the htnl I am using. It works wonderfully in FF and Opera.

<div style="padding: 6px; float: right;"> <img src="images/m1.jpg" alt="Name here" title="Name here" width="200px" /></div>

thanks.

IE5/Mac is trouble to work with and there is no good reason to still be supporting it especially as Microsoft themselves now recommend Mac users to ditch it in favour of Safari.
That's probably not going to help in your situation, so I'd suggesting posting your question at CSS Creator as there's people over there who use Macs who know what they're talking about when it comes to CSS.

<div style="padding: 6px; float: right;   ***   WIDTH: 20%;   ***   ">
<img src="images/m1.jpg" alt="Name here" title="Name here" width="200px" /></div>

 

thanks.

For the float to be positioned correctly in an IE5/Mac, there must be a width stated on the item being floated or the float is created at 100 per cent width and pushes down the next div. Including this width doesn't seem to bother the other Browsers. I made the width smaller than the Image, so it works perfectly.

Thanks for your assistance, Tyssen. Good link up there, by the way...
