Either keep one element non floating, or add something with a clear property after the floated elements.

I'm experiencing a problem with Mozilla/Safari. I have a container div with a background and two floated elements inside it. when I float one, I get the infamous IE 3px bug[1]. so... I float both (since this avoids the problem with the 3px bug) and the background of the containing div vanishes.
with float applied to div and image: http://www.capstrat.com/development/obrienatkinsx/test1.html
with float applied only to the div: http://www.capstrat.com/development/obrienatkinsx/test2.html
the elements in question are:
div#content-main #portfolio-text {
margin: 0;
float: left;
padding-top: 30px;
width: 186px; font-size: .8em;
}
img#portfolio-image { float: left; width: 465px; height: 465px; margin-left: 1px; padding: 0; }
