This explains your main problem:

I don't have time to track down the shorter grey bar, 
issue, but try using this method:

I assume you mean in IE, but you didn't say so. if the container
the float resides in is given a width or height, it will aquire
"layout" in IE and will then contain any float.

To prevent this, you need to avoid giving that container layout,
which means not using a width or height.

Re: [css-d] background color warnings

[Vicki Stebbins]

Hi Trish,

I posted the same last week, it seems to have recently started doing this.

Here's the replies I got: 
http://archivist.incutio.com/viewlist/css-discuss/?search=CSS+Validation
subject CSS Validation.

I took the advice that it was only a 'hint' to check your code and if it's 
okay then ignore the warnings.

At the moment I need to put into writing a statement in the 
estimate/contract I do for clients to cover if they find the validation 
service and think their site is not working properly... a couple of other 
people would like a copy and then they may come up with a bit more... let 
me know if you want it too.

Regards

Vicki
