the problems the OP had in IE5.5 can get worse when the overflow: hidden
of the simple clearing meets the Holly hack in other bugfixes needed

Well, you could use something like 'zoom : 1;' instead, even though it

Anyhow, if all else fails, I feel that the hack Dwain linked it is far
worse than adding a little bit of markup and using 'clear : both;'.
