I recently experienced a very similar problem with both IE6 and IE7
for a site that I am currently working on: www findmeatradesperson dot
com

It works fine in FF/Safari but in IE when I hovered over a menu item
half of the page would disappear. I figured out that wrapping the main
menu and breadcrumb rows in a span-24 fixed the problem. Very similar
to the above where it seems the child elements inherit the float from
some other element (possibly the menu li?). Or are you suggesting to
wrap each of these elements with the .container class?

Not sure this is 100% the same issue but I can recreate this on this
site quite easily if you like.

Cheers,

Adam
