Dorayme,

I examined your testpage (thank you for providing it) and figured out
that this was bug #46 and bug #66 at this page:

http://www.gtalbot.org/BrowserBugsSection/MSIE7Bugs/

The background-color issue is just a consequence of the way IE7
(*incorrectly, wrongly*) renders floated elements when the container
has a specified width. It is definitely due to incorrect
implementations of float feature by Internet Explorer 7 (and most
likely IE6 too).

Regards and season's greetings, Gérard
