IE Double Padding Bug
Wednesday, June 13, 2007
Couldn't find anything about this on Google but there seems there's not only a double margin bug in IE but also a double padding bug.
I haven't been able to recreate the bug (although haven't tried much) but it seems to occur when an element is used to clear other elements. Then the clearing element will get double padding-top.
I've experienced this a few times but, as i said, never found any information about it.
Perhaps someone reading this knows more about it? What exactly triggers the bug and if there's a fix (part from simply reducing padding by 50% in IE).
I'll try to recreate the bug and post a demo-page.
Update
IE8 fixes this.

Floats
Many changes have been made to float behaviors, fixing many of the most troubling float issues encountered with prior versions of Internet Explorer, including those caused by the requirement of the hasLayout property. The hasLayout functionality has been removed in Internet Explorer 8. The following are some of the issues fixed:
- Cleared elements don't clear other nested floats when they don't share a parent.
- Cleared elements after floats have doubled top padding.
- Comments are off
- Filed under CSS
