    overflow: hidden visibility question


    I have a box element that uses overflow: hidden and I want a link which
    at the bottom of the element to be visible. I can't make the link visible.

    Obviously I'm having problems so I was wondering if there's anything
    other than overflow : hidden that will give me an absolute 'height' and
    make the link visible.

      Why is the link invisible-- is it overflowing?

      You can add <div style="clear: both"></divat the end of the element
      and use overflow: visible. That will usually work about the same
      (although it might clear some other floats you didn't want it to)

          "Clear: both" clears other floats I need. Yes, the link is in the
          overflow. Nasty problem.

              Post a url, I'm sure we'll think of something.

                  Thanks, I found a solution. I put the text in another div and put the
                  overflow:hidden in that div. Then I put the link(s) after the overflow.
