Try using display:inline on the floated element in question.
 
It's most probably one of the IE bugs listed here:

Subject: [WSG] Width difference in IE - OK in Firefox

I’m stumped at what I’ve done wrong here.  I’ve copied (or at least I THOUGHT I copied!) a structure from another site that worked, but it’s playing out wrong for IE6.  can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong here please?

 

The site’s at http://paraklesis.com.au  and the style sheet is at http://paraklesis.com.au/styles/paraklesis.css  

 

It looks fine in Firefox, and Netscape 7.1  but not in IE6.    

 

What’s happening in IE is that the outer container is too wide on the right (it’s supposed to be 597pixels wide, which is the width of the heading graphic).  It’s 597 in the other browsers, but in IE it’s 614px wide.    And despite being wider, it still squeezes the right sidebar out and forces it to float below the left content box.    I’ve been staring at this wretched thing for hours now and I guess I’m too close to it now to see what’s wrong.

 

Can anyone see what I’ve done? 

 

 

(oh yes, I know the content is far too long and the client has lots of work to do in that area and I have some work to do on the floats for the menu buttons.  But it’s the bigger boxes I’m working on now.).

 

 

Cheers
