Hey all -

I'm using the "position is everything" trick of a "clearfix" class 
(http://www.positioniseverything.net/easyclearing.html).  According to 
the article, the clearfix works on everything *but* IE - however the 
article states:

"This does not affect IE/Win which simply keeps enclosing the float as 
always (assuming the container has a stated dimension)"

Now, I have a small thing - it's a little div that rests within another 
div.  The "inside" div has two floated elements - one right, one left. 
Here is no specified height, because the content is supposed to push the 
outer div down as it expands.

However, in IE 7, the outer div doesn't get pushed down.  And it's IE7 - 
so I half-expected it to work like Mozilla (my bad!  What was I 
thinking?!?) and use the clearfix, but it doesn't.  And as a rule, IE 
generally doesn't see it anyway.  So it looks like I'm screwed both ways 
to Sunday.  Do I *have* to put in additional markup to force the clear? 
  I really don't want to.  I was wondering if there was another way?

(if you want to see it: http://www.brassblogs.com/wordpress - it's a 
test site for a client - for the record, I didn't design it! - and I'm 
putting it through the final checks and stuff right now.  The issue 
resides in the yellow bars beneath the posts - if the lines wrap, they 
go past the yellow bar in IE7)
