Can anyone enlighten me on this please?
The container/wrapper on http://www.ratking.co.uk hides/crops the text that overflows because #container { ... overflow: hidden } You are doing that probably to force that container to contain floated blocks. A better method would be to either: 1. insert a clearing element at the bottom of that wrapper or 2. use the easy clearing method, as described on PIE <http://www.positioniseverything.net/easyclearing.html> and remove that overflow:hidden.
