Is there a good way to hide the backgrounds or borders that can  
appear behind floated elements? For example: http://www.sawmac.com/ 
tests/float_bg.html

This is correct behavior--only the content is displaced by the float,  
not the box itself, so its borders and backgrounds appear behind the  
float. But this isn't always desirable.

The only solutions I've found are:
1. replace the margin value for the floated element with a border of  
matching width and color that matches the page background. The thick  
border then covers the backgrounds and borders behind it.
2. add another floated div with a background color that matches the  
page background and width set to the original floated elements width  
+ margins + border + padding. Then insert the original floated  
element inside that <div>
Make sense?

Are there other ways? Thanks for the help
