Thanks Jeff, actually this due to over simplification on my part.
I was not providing details for IE.
You will notice how the main container is not given a width
(which would have triggered that parental recognition of floated
children all on its own in IE6 without need for overflow
instruction - you may recall we discussed this a while back).
Here I have given a max-width instead - for a real purpose.
You are right, there is now a need to pander to IE6 and possibly
7.
In regard to the container growing height, the simplest is to
make do with a clearing div.
And there would need to be attention to the footer I imagine
where margin: auto for left and right and a width will not do for
IE6 - I guess widthing the footer as a guess, text-aligning it
centre, etc.
There are many ways to provide for IE, including a special css
set of instruction for its eyes only. I will come back to this
later when I have time.
