Hi, sorry it has taken a while to get back, I have been away.
I am not sure I understand how to solve the problem. I think I am more
confused after reading the bugs for IE5 Mac.
Should I put in my XHTML
<div id="clearer"></div>
then in the CSS
#clearer{clear:none;}
again the page is http://www.pacifichomeloans.com.au
CSS http://www.pacifichomeloans.com.au/styleshome.css
thanks

Craig,
The main issue would appear to be as follows:
Mac IE 5 wrongly clears floats inside clearing block elements, and you
can't fix it with "clear:none;".
The easy way to solve it is to add a standalone clearer to your HTML
(say after a navigation bar that you need to clear). It may need to be
a full div. Not ideal, but it does the trick.
For more info, see
http://www.macedition.com/cb/ie5macbugs/#floatclearbug , as well as the
entry it links to from Philippe Wittenbergh.
Hope this helps. (If this message looks familiar, it's another cut and
paste from a posting some time ago.)
