They display the floated box as 1px tall. iCab 303 and Gecko based browsers expand the floated box to the min- height of the other box but no more; if the content of your other column exceeds the min-height, two things happen: the floated box doesn't grow any more, and the background on the box with height and min-height doesn't grow either (that is the correct behaviour). Here is a test file <http://dev.l.c-n.com/_temp/test20060822.php> I have a hard time understanding the behaviour of Gecko and iCab. I'll have to review the css 2.1 docs to make sure who's wrong here.
