My Yui Grid layout not immune to the IE6 Float Drop

Hi,

I'm a big fan of the YUI grids but it appears my current layout is affected by IE6 and all it's malcontent. Has anybody else run into this? I know this is a common float bug, but I thought yui-grids was supposed to be compatible with that infernal browser.

Code:
<div id="doc" class="yui-t7">
   <div id="hd">
       
      
   </div>

   <div id="bd">
      <div id="yui-main">
         <div class="yui-b">
            <div class="yui-ge">
               <div class="yui-u first">
               <div class="yui-gd">
<div class="yui-u first">
                    Column One
</div>

<div class="yui-u">
Column Two
</div>

<div class="yui-u">
                  

</div>

</div>

Hey James,

The markup you indicated above is not well formed, meaning there are more opening divs than closing divs. Also, a .yui-gd may only contain two .yui-u's, but your code has it containing three.

When the markup is corrected, the layout renders fine in IE6 according to my testing. Here's my version of your layout that you can inspect:

Hope that helps.

Thanks,
Nate

Hey Alicia,

Have you read the step-by-step Grids documentation on the YUI site?

http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/grids/

You might also find this tutorial I wrote useful:

Hope that helps.

Thanks,
Nate

I really want to use YUI grids but it breaks in IE.

I'm trying a 180px sidebar (right column) with 66/33 2 column content area and it doesn't work in IE6/7.

I tried the 1px border on the bd div, but that only fixes IE7, in IE6 the middle column still gets pushed to the bottom.

What's up with that?
Is this fixed in 3.0?

Thanks for any info you may have.

Cheers,
Bob
