css float problem in sandbox

This is something I noticed in the plain sandbox, well before I did any customization to it.

The right and left nav bars float as you resize the window, but don’t have any minimum sizes. So, on very small windows, the text is covered by one, or both, of the sidebars.

You can test it here:

happens in both IE and Firefox.

I’m suspecting this is a simple, known fix. Thanks!

membracid,

Try the following:

Modify your element definitions like so:
```
#container {
	color:#000;
	text-align:left;
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;

}

#wrap {
	font-size:0.9em;
	margin-top:5px;
	padding:0;
	clear: both;
}
```
And as a suggestion, add the following class definition:
```
.hentry{
	clear: both;
}
```
The overlapping will still occur when the user resizes the window to a very small size, otherwise, it should look okay now.

Please let me know if you still have some problems/questions. I’ll try to get back to you ASAIC.

HTH

oh! Thanks!
That nailed it to the corner. I won’t come unglued anymore! :)

I have been having lots of trouble getting into the forum lately, and missed this earlier :)

yep, works fine at 800×600 now, although my habit of using images seems to muck things up quite a bit. Oh well, at least it’s readable!

:D :D

Thanks much.
