At the bottom of the Center column lies the "Company discussion" area.
It's div (profile_forum) seems to be clearing left (to the bottom of the
left column, which by the way is in an outside div) in all but IE, no
matter what clear property i give it.
Anyway, .profile_content has a dimension (width:99%). Therefore, in
IE/Win, it has "layout". That means, it establishes an own clearing
context, and it contains floats by default [1].
As a result, there is no possibility to clear any float outside of this
container with a clear: from within the container. It's completely
disconnected in IE.
It's not clear to me if you want this behavior or not.
- If you want to simulate this proprietary behavior in other browsers,
you'll have to give the container .profile_content a float:left, because
floats contain floats.
- If you want to simulate the standards behavior in IE (clear affects
outside floats), you'll have to un-layout the container, by hiding the
width:99% from IE (wich will most probably cause other problems)
Either way, for further discussion, a simplified testcase without a
login would be helpful.
