Comments on: Using hasLayout to fix bugs in IE http://notes.natbat.net/2006/12/02/haslayout/ Adventures creations and musings from a girl geek Sat, 05 Jul 2008 01:52:35 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Marty http://notes.natbat.net/2006/12/02/haslayout/#comment-439 Marty Tue, 05 Dec 2006 09:19:14 +0000 http://notes.natbat.net/2006/12/02/haslayout/#comment-439 Thanks, This has given me the understanding of this bug which ive encountered many time before in the past. I have built several complicated layouts and in IE some block elements behaved very strangely (and i knew incorrectly) and sometimes assigning a position or a height fixed the problem Thanks,

I've reduced the "fix" down to a single line that I'll now apply out of reflex. I wrote a bout it recently in an entry I called <a href="http://mar.anomy.net/entry/2006/10/04/09.44.54/" rel="nofollow">Tackling the IE factor - IE7 update</a>.

Doesn't matter what height. Any height will do. I go for either 1% or 100%, but that'll give it layout, and make it behave. I've had lots of "exciting" bugs with background-images on list-items because of IE6's "layout" property. As you note, the concept of "layout" remains in IE7, despite their tidy-up of browser bugs, so it's still a useful thing to be able to trigger. Good stuff to have in one place, Nat!
