Sky Map (Or where to look for shooting stars 12-14th December)

The Geminids are hitting a sky near you around midnight on the 12-14th of December! I know it’s cold but grab a hot water bottle and a blankie and get out there! (for those of drinking age a few drops of your favourite tipple are also recommended!)

IE Bug – making a 0px high div

Posted on Thursday, December 3, 2009 in code bits, life's like this

I found that when I was creating div’s with ‘clear:both’ of different heights (which I use for spacing in my design)

.clear {clear: both; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; width:100%;}
.clear5 {clear: both; height: 5px; line-height: 5px; width:100%;}
.clear10 {clear: both; height: 10px; line-height: 10px; width:100%;}
.clear20 {clear: both; height: 20px; line-height: 20px; width:100%;}

Basically spanky IE makes your empty div the same height as your line height – so to fix this you need to specify line height ‘0px’ etc etc.

Bad bad IE
