>> Page is here: http://www.diabetespolarflight.org/xhtml/template_2.html height is not a good solution, as the height of the floated elements can change with the user font size. Min-height is a better option (but is not supported by IE6). overflow:hidden will work in IE 6 providing you also trigger 'hasLayout'. See [1] below for all the details.
