Thanks for your suggestion Jim. I have deployed it on this test page:
http://hul.harvard.edu/oisnew/systems/oasis/upload.new.html

The floated lists inside the static container no longer drop below the 
layout when the viewport is narrowed, but now I'm having problems placing 
text below the container that stays below the container. I imagine this is 
because the containing div does not have a height calculated for it because 
the floats aren't really *there*. The cleared div in your example solves 
the problem in IE but not Firefox. In FF, the clearing div is also clearing 
the left/right layout columns -- forcing that bottom text below the layout. 
I assigned a min-height to the container, which seems to help in FF.

Jim -- Do you know of a way to clear interior floated content that does not 
also blow away a floated layout? This has been a regular problem in the 
layout I'm forced to work within.

Thanks for your help!  --julie
