FireFox Stacks Floated Sidebar and Main Column

Well I am not going to get into *mine is bigger than yours*. Our respective profiles tell the story. If you have been helping out for 5 years that is obviously about a year or two before WP started. Funny that your membership number is about 4,000 below mine. I try to avoid saying what I am going to say next but there is always a time for profanity. And this is it. I have developed templates used by thousands of WP users. Not once have they borked. And not once have they rendered inconsistently in any browser. And it is an odd fact that out of a million plus users here and a fair few CSS gurus, no one but no one uses position absolute for their blog layout. No one is going to help you. Because they will not help you fix something you should not be doing in the first place.
The childish stuff – I am just going to ignore.

I can testify: that’s absolutely true!

anonymity? I am hardly anonymous.

As for the rest, check your apache logs .. you will very clearly see MY ip loading your site on my desktop. I’m not even going to bite the temptation to put up what I did to make it display.

Thats too easy for you.

Good luck, guru.

Being called a moron by someone that suggests that a browser can differentiate between content inserted by wordpress and content inserted, by say, text pattern.. LOL, whatever.

OK guys. Thanks. ?? Lets move on. Happy blogging. ??

No, Root, you’re the moron. I NEVER said I was using position: absolute. I said I tried it as one troubleshooting step among many. Again, you reaffirm that you never read what you bitched and moaned about. I told you twice that I don’t use position: absolute. Additionally, the word “absolute” doesn’t appear anywhere in my code, the code you supposedly scrutinized.

Learn to read English.

…someone that suggests that a browser can differentiate between content inserted by wordpress and content inserted, by say, text pattern.. LOL, whatever.

Really? When did I say that? I don’t see any part of this conversation wherein I typed the phrase “text pattern”.

I see now how this entire debacle developed. Neither of you can read. You glance over something, pick up a word or phrase, and jump to a conclusion. You don’t read the facts or information, nor did you ask for more. You haven’t the slightest idea how to troubleshoot a technical issue, which is probably why your respective websites and templates never went beyond sophomoric code complexity and aesthetic.

This article depicts you both to a T.

here is EXACTLY what you said:

FireFox (Win, Mac, and Linux) has a long-standing bug that can cause problems with side-by-side floated containers whose content is filled by WP.

NOT THIS:

I read fine, thanks. You might notice that I used the phrase “by say”.. In other words, it could have been anything. You are the one that made an initial differentiation.

Additionally, you would do well to read whatever you wrote. I wont bother. The only person arguing or tossing out insults, for that matter, is you.

Here’s some friendly advice too — be a good netizen and upgrade your install. Your site is hackable, in case you werent aware.

This thread ain’t going anywhere positive.
