Hey,

I'm using the body tag as a place to set width for 
http://www.grubby.net/resume.html ,

as so:

body {
        width: 776px;
        margin: 0px auto 0px auto;
        background-color: #ffffff;
        color: #000;
        padding: 15px;
        border: #CCCCCC 3px solid;
}

This works fine until I have floated divs ( FF1.5.1 ).

Floated divs float over the edge of it - the body background-color ends 
where the floats begin.

I know I'm being dumb somewhere, but where? Is it really a bad idea to 
set page width and color in the body element?

I've tried floating the body, and that extends the color the length of 
the page, but I lose the centering I desire.

How am I approaching this wrong?

Thank you for your time.

Tom
