That's correct behavior, same in all decent browsers.
You can add...
.formBox {overflow: hidden;}
* html .formBox {overflow: visible;}
...to achieve the "expand to contain floats" effect you're after.
The above 'establishes a new block formatting context'[1] in compliant

IE/win only gets that wrong when 'hasLayout'[2] is triggered one way or
another - which means "in most cases".
