[RESOLVED] Someone please look at my CSS…

May 01.2013

I need some help. My site works in IE8, but it’s not working in IE9, IE10, Chrome, or Firefox. I am wondering if someone can take a look at the stylesheet and let me know if there’s something I can do.

It’s fitted for IE8 because that’s our corporate browser, but we’re going to be moving up soon and I have to work on figuring this out…

I placed it on a public domain for testing purposes.

There’s too much code to post here, so here’s the jsfiddle…

Your help is greatly appreciated.

@rtretheweyMay 01.2013 — You need to add what's called a 'clearfix' rule for #body_wrapper so that you clear the 'float' for the left column:
<i>
</i>#body_wrapper:after {
display:block;
content:'';
clear:both;
height:0px;
visibility:hidden;
}

Floated elements are removed from the normal document flow, so the other elements are positioned without regard to the vertical space they occupy without some additional rules.

@SabzMay 01.2013 — on FF 20, all looks ok besides the footer colomns. Try clearing your footer_Wrapper and adjusting your footer_col margins

@jlnewnamauthorMay 01.2013 — That makes sense Rick. Do I have to do that,

[CODE]#class_name: after{}[/CODE]

(I've never seen this before)

...after every float. When is it appropriate to do that?

@rtretheweyMay 01.2013 — I don't know if I could come up with a general rule to tell you when a clearfix is appropriate, but it's usually pretty obvious when you need to use it. My darker side says, "It's appropriate to use a clearfix when you find yourself thinking, 'Why can't I just use a bleeping <table> and be done with it?'". Good luck!
