this doesnt seem to work for me.

here is my page:

http://www.sandygonzales.com/newworks/

the textWrapper element is positioned relatively and contained in “text” element with is also position relatively and has overflow:hidden. it is stretched by “textWrapper” and overflowing. ;( “text” is inside a container “primaryContent” also positioned relatively. any ideas? Sorry the naming is counterintuitive. textWrapper is INSIDE text.

Wow, Dusty, I believe this “fixes” it for me. I’ve been going to the quirksmode website every couple of months to see if anyone had found some solution to this other than putting IE into quirks mode. Much obliged!
