WebKit overflow:hidden and clear:none clipping failure

January 9, 2009 7:30 pm John Haugeland Programming, Web and Web Standards

There is a failure in WebKit to honor overflow:hidden with clear:none on child elements.  This prevents several cheesy no-table space filling strategies which have worked portably since IE3 from working in WebKit derived browsers (safari, chrome, etc.)

Test case with screen shots and examples.

I have submitted this as Bug 23221.
