Hi Bob,
I think it must be something odd about IE7. I've just tried your link
in FF3 and Galeon on Linux, and FF3, IE8, Safari 4 and Opera 10 on
Windows. In every case the border appears around the entire masthead,
not just the third div.

Is this what you want: http://cfajohnson.com/testing/floatdivs.shtml ?

Well Chris, I'm intrigued!
I took your example (which is exactly what I wanted!) and changed your
a's and b's to my own, and it works a treat (almost). See here:
http://www.rspcacornwall.org.uk/testbed/floatdivs_cjapplied.html
I cannot get my head around why this should work, and my own didn't!
Must be something to do with the order of stuff.
However, I put a border around the elastic div (so it can be seen) and
it is perfect in IE7, but is full width if FF3. What's going on here?
Duh.
Bob
