Ah, that's the reason! Thanks for letting me know, now it works better. 
As to the syntax error, those were left over after I tried removing some 
options to see the effects they have.

That's right, I did not see those. I updated the test page, it's now 
validating completely.

The nested float was the origin. I fixed that as well, it is now showing 
properly.

Thing is, I'm not the one generating this HTML and as it comes from 
various modules of a more complete CMS, I can hardly have any impact on 
the number of divs that get generated. I understand the implication of 
such "unclean" HTML, but it's partly out of my hands at the moment.

Anyway, it is working great now with respect to the boxes. Many thanks 
to all who responded, I very much appreciate your help.
I have two other problems though, but I don't know if I should start a 
thread for each of them. I'll sump them up here and will create a new 
thread if you think it's better this way :

1. The "line" to separate the title and the content is done using a 
"groove" border. However, it goes over the right border. Using a red 
background, I figured out why it is doing so. Do you guys think there is 
a way to have such a line inside the rounded box, only using CSS? If 
not, I'll scrap it altogether.

2. The link inside the "popular articles" box is not using the full 
width of the box, creating a new line for every word. I used the CSS 
inspector add-in for Firefox/Seamonkey but I couldn't find which style 
applies to this text to force it doing so. Looking a the CSS directly 
did not help me either.

I sure does, many thanks to all of you.
