Relief

[gothwalk]

There is no feeling of relief to match that of finally finding a solution for a problem that seemed insoluble, as a deadline looms.

Huzzah for the power of CSS!

(Defeating IE's 15px scrollbar bug with overflow-x: hidden; )

(I cheated and used a table for the previous question. It works, and it's less code than any proposed munging of divs. If any CSS purists want to come solve it for me, bring it on.)

Nowadays I'll do all I can to only use tables for displaying tabular data rather than for formatting. But sometimes it's hard to go any other way.

What I find annoying with CSS implementation is how the various height: 100% are implemented. For instance, you can have your div be 100% height if you have set all parents nodes (up to html) to be 100% but then it'll be 100% height of the page. I have yet to figure out why you can't just have a containing div with a fixed (or dynamic) height set up and just have its children elements have a height of 100% of its own height.

Mind you maybe it works in quirks mode but I never work in that...
