[Solved] Screencast #14

[matt3000]

Hello everybody,

In podcast nr 14 the following problem is addressed:

When you make a collem float, the float has somehow no hight and
the footer collapes inward to my nav menu.

The way to deal with this is to clear the float.

Oke, so this works perfect in almost all browsers, but not in IE8 somehow.
And becaulse I am no geanious, I’m rather stuck now.

I have tried to use these meta things to make it also work in IE8: (because in IE7 the site works fine)
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />
<meta http-equiv=”X-UA-Compatible” content=”IE=edge” />
but these didn’t work.

Oke. so this is my clear

Code:

And here in my CSS

Code:

.clear { clear: both; }

The validator said:

Line 62, Column 7: unclosed end-tag requires SHORTTAG YES
<div class="clear"> </div>?
The construct </foo<bar> is valid in HTML (it is an example of the rather obscure “Shorttags” feature) but its use is not recommended. In most cases, this is a typo that you will want to fix. If you really want to use shorttags, be aware that they are not well implemented by browsers.

But as chris used it himself I think it should be fine…

Any Idea>?

Thanks,

Matt

wow, I can’t believe it was that simple
and i am very glad that it was just a little mistake, and not some bigger IE8 problem

thanks a million jamy_za! (I was starting to pull out my hair)
