hey all, I've succeeded fixing one of the most horrible bugs I've encountered recently and I felt like sharing it with you all.
so the bugs goes like this:
I'm currently building a website for a big domain, and i added a table for no matter what the reasons are. it had only 2 TDs. when the page loads the table isn't showing and a "loading..." message is appearing in the meanwhile.
So, when the table is done rendering in the server, it sent to the browser and it insert it instead of the message.
When it do so, the footer of the site is was "locked" at it location and didn't go down to the end of the page, after the table, and instead it looked like it is positioned absolute. and when you over the mouse on it, it relocated...
So obviously I've Googled it, and couldn't find any answer so far. untill i figured it out just now. And i felt like sharing...
so all i did is adding to the table the simple attribute of "float:left;"
that's it!
I've QA'ed it in IE7/8 and FF3/3.5
hope i could be a help to you,
regards,
