Sep 23, 2009 by Paul White

Not sure why by it seems that IE 7 if you have a DIV and you put something inside it like another DIV or an Image, then you float that item, the item will overlap the bottom of the container div.  The fix was very easy but for some it may not work depending on your design.  The solution was to assign a width to the container div.  This might explain why most newer sites are using fixed width layouts to fit a 1024 display.  So if you wan to make the switch to table less layouts, you might need to rethink how you build websites.
