Floated elements must have a width. In the absense of one IE6 assumes 100%,
FF (for example) assumes the width of the widest thing inside the element
(your picture).

No, not funny at all. You are running IE6 in "standard compliant" mode, so
its box model is broken in an entirely different way to IE5.x.

Temporarily take out the doctype, putting IE6 in quirks mode. It will then
behave like IE5.x (well, sort of).
