Yep, I'm doing that as well. I contain the #overflow container in a another div with fixed width.

| #container |#overflow| |       |#float|

Then use a clear:both break under both to force a footer below the longest content.

The overflow div should resize to the width of the container.

HTH

Unfortunately the width needs to be set (as there's a floating div to form a
second column)


  
Your other option is to repeatedly tap your client on the head with a
toffee hammer until they see the light of day.
    

Believe me, if i could, i would... :(
