And that it does that computation dynamically….

I think auto should serve this purpose but for some strange reasons, doesnt do it in the case of lists and sometimes headings.

Is not there any way where the list should know the following width?

list_width = container_width – (left_menu_width + right_menu_width)

so that when left_menu and right_menu disappear, we get the full container width!!!

Thanks again.

I incorporated the changes in layout and tested on this post

with width=350px

It works but I hope you are getting my point. If we fix a width, this width will continue even when the parent has stretched to full container.

If I remove width line, the problem stays. I have tested it just now.

Hello podz

Thanks for your kind help and greetings ??

The thing worked like a magic in FF. Thanks.

I looked at trident CSS and then visited the site, only to discover that it is not what I want. The problem with most 3 column layouts is that they continue down till the end of page and thus never exploit the extra space advantage when menus get blank down the page.

My layout, though naive it is, expands to the full width of the container once there is nothing more in left or right menus, and thats what I like about it. Any ideas on how to tame the lists in this scenario?

ohhhhhhhh sorry….

It’s a multi-lingual blog so you can look into some English post. And the page validates as XHTML 1.0 Strict.

Please note how I am pushing ordered list in

to right but still the numbers are not visible in IE.

Okay I solved it…., you can see the post here without annoying “038;”

The solution is:

edit “functions-formatting.php” and lookfor function “convert_chars”. Remark the line

$content = preg_replace(‘/&([^#])(?![a-z]{1,8};)/i’, ‘&$1’, $content);

Things should work fine ??

If there is a side-effect to it, I would appreciate your feekback. Thanks.
