If the width of the browser window is reduced until a point smaller than the content within the float container, the content within the float container will shift below the float.

That's the old 'auto-expand containers to give space for content'.
It is part of the MSIE hasLayout[1] construction/bug. Messy stuff, as
the bug can be used to fix layouts and/or destroy layouts.

The desired behavior is for the content to remain in place to the right of the float and simply overflow beyond the right side of the browser window (i.e. be hidden).

Adding 'overflow-x: hidden;' to the container will control it sideways,
and achieve what you're asking for in _most_ cases.
