This one comes up a lot.  I see you found your answer using the 
'clearfix' method.  For others playing along at home, when you float 
every column the container no longer has any statically positioned 
children, so it shrinks to 0.  Unfloating the longest child, adding a 
clearing element or using the clearfix method will force the container 
to be as tall as the tallest floated column.

PS.  Never trust ie/win to render a page correctly.  Pick almost any 
other browser (I prefer firefox because of the great development tools) 
and you will save yourself lots of hair-pulling.
