I have added a class of .post in the CSS. Stick it in there.

I already have one there…
.post {
margin:.5em 0 1.5em;
border-bottom:1px dotted #79b;
padding-bottom:1.5em;
}
It underlines the posts when they’re all lined up on the homepage but not individually.
Any other ideas?

IE doesnt do 1px dotted. I dont know if that is it?

Nope, tried changing it to ‘ dashed and it was the same. ‘
While not identical to the problem you describe, the two bugs on Positioniseverything’s Open Source Oopsies Page, seem somewhat related. They also involve clearing floats and small gaps appearing out of nowhere.
Can you document the bug properly? I’m sure they’ll be interested by a guest demo. (And I like the way they are trying to trick people into downloading Mozilla so that they can view the horrid open source bugs…)
Interestingly enough my experiment focussed on the different moz behaviour with / without borders. Our friend here is trying to put in a border and it is going wrong. My stuff is not identical to position is every thing but is clearly all in the same family. Their observations on borked floats look terrifying. 🙂

Cheers guys,
I’m interested to know the code that you’ve used then Root, why does yours work and mine not?
For instance, in the article that you link your post does exactly what I want to have happen on my posts.
I assume your’s doesn’t have…
.post {
margin:.5em 0 1.5em;
border-bottom:1px dotted #79b;
padding-bottom:1.5em;
}
in the code but something slightly different?

Actually, if it’s trouble getting the dashed line to work how about just having a couple of blank lines beterrn the post and the comments etc.?
Well your .post has only got three values for border. I would experiment there by adding a fourth. Plus I would take out margin 0; for the h3. A degree of trial and error is needed.

OK, cheers for your help.
I thought that someone would just say “oh add this here” kind of thing, sorry to have put you through the trouble
Thanks again

Nope, afraid ont, I’m kind of giving up as I don’t really have the time to invest in learning more CSS/PHP (not that I know much anyway!) 🙁
To be honest I assumed that it would be an easy one to answer and not a trial and error kind of thing.
It’s not a huge problem but more of a perfectionist kind of thing, I’m happy with the front page but the permalinked pages look a bit untidy to me, that’s why I thought a line or gap would tidy things up again.

Well really it should do as mine does but I am stumped. Sorry.

No probs Root, thanks for your input. So no easy way to add a couple of blank lines before the comment?
Well this is really bothering me because I do not really understand what is going on. margin-bottom should do it for .post but something seems a bit arwry. Sorry I cant be more helpful.
