I've been scouring google all day trying to figure this one out. I have a pretty
standard floating layout where I'm using a clearing element to make sure that my
container element looks like it encloses the floating element.

Everything works fine except that when the clearing element actually does it's
thing (when the floating element is taller than the container) the containing
element loses it's left margin in IE6 (haven't tested 7 yet).

Here's an example:
http://www2.plusthree.com/~mpeters/ie6_clear_lost_margin.html

The red box should have a 10px margin to it's left and it does in FF/Safari, but
not IE6. And if you remove the clearing element (<div class="clearing"></div>)
the left margin returns. Any ideas/workarounds/verbal abuse?

Thanks
