Yeah, it's almost certainly the floats. Floated stuff (flotillas I call
'em) is basically removed from the normal flow and will not "fill out" a
div, etc. IE gets this wrong. You should read the spec on floats
_carefully_ and even then it's hard to get right. I use floats only
when I absolutely have to.
