I have encountered a strange layout problem that occurs in Firefox.

When I disable the category block from being displayed in category view (I want the items/articles to appear from the top of the content area) a weird result apppears. The page looks all right when I check in IE 6&8 and Chrome, but in Firefox the column is pushed down some pixels - enough to make all horizontal alignment break.

 

I haven't the slightest idea what may cause this behaviour. Has anyone experienced anything like this?

Please send a link to the affected page

As William has said, an image or a link would be good.
I suspect that maybe it could be clr div causing issues, but would need to check.

I would appreciate if you can help me.
It's a development site, protected by password.

Look in attached file for pw.

Here's the problem: The image doesn't align in firefox:

Hello again,

I have made some more tests, and suprisingly this problem occurs even when I use a simple template using only a div for a page header and a div underneath for the content. So strange... I started to create the development site first with K2 v 2.1 and I did not experience any problem like this (apart from the .clr in some modules that I had to hide with display:none). And now when I use K2 ver 2.2 it's totally impossible to get it right. Either I am really stupid or there must be something very odd...

Solved!

It was the line # 316 in K2.css that caused the strange behaviour in Firefox: div.itemContainer {float:left;}. Just remove float:left and everything aligns correctly.

I am having the same problem. Removing the {float:left;} does work to get the alignment right, but then all articles fall out of their columns. Is there another solution?

That was a drawback! I have not used multiple columns like you do, but I am just about to change part of the website into displaying articles with 2 cols. So I suppose I will experience the same problem as you. I will look into the matter, but I would be very grateful if anyone more experienced than me has an idea how to fix it. If I find a solution I will keep you posted.

This is not a solution just a workaround. I am using one lead-in story so this works for me.
Create a new template then delete
class="itemContainer" from category.php in your template under Leading Items.

Sounds interesting. I will check this work-around.
