ack.. sincere apologies. If you view positioniseverything.net, they
use a class of clearfix for this fix, and I think it is poor practice
to add mark-up to help IE behave. However, David is correct, as i
copied and pasted without checking myself. So the :after should have
been left out for the IE conditionals.
Again, sincere apologies for misinformation.

Just to correct Todd's reply, the :after property isnt support by
either IE7 or IE6 (and below), therefore you would need to adjust
your CSS to state (assuming you're using a CSS hack, for ease of
display):
#NameofContainingDiv {
*zoom: 1;
/* all your other styles for the element */
}
#NameofContainingDiv:after {
clear: both;
content: '.';
display: block;
height: 0;
visibility: hidden;
}

Damian probably gave you your answer, but I'll also say that if you
review the original documentation from http://www.positioniseverything.net/easyclearing.html
for the code you're using, you'll see that they recommend
conditional comments to trigger hasLayout. In your case, in the
head of your document you should add:
<!--[if IE]>
<style type="text/css">
#NameofContainingDiv:after {
zoom: 1; /* triggers hasLayout */
} /* Only IE can see inside the conditional comment
and read this CSS rule. Don't ever use a normal HTML
comment inside the CC or it will close prematurely. */
</style>
<![endif]-->
Either way, the end goal is the same.

Most likely a lack of hasLayout triggers or layout context
changes, or both.
For the coloured boxes, add overflow:hidden to the divs with
classes catalougeMid and subscribeMid. This will force them into a
new layout context and in turn expand the container to contain all
elements. If you want it to apply to IE6 and IE7 only, use a
selector hack:
* html .catalogueMid, * html .subscribeMid { overflow: hidden; } /
* IE6 Only */
*:first-child+html .catalogueMid, *:first-child+html .subscribeMid
{ overflow: hidden; } /* IE7 Only */
I’d have to fire up a VM to look at the IE6 issue and it’s late J

*Subject:* [WSG] CSS IE6/7 - what a surprise
HI all,
I'm hoping there's a simple solution to my two problems.
All looks fine in Mac browsers x5 and IE8b2 (according to
netrenderer) but not in:
IE6 - Mysterious margins are appearing between the header and the
top menu and in both coloured boxes in the right hand column of
the main content.
IE6+7 - the coloured boxes are not 'expanding' to contain the
content (in this case a floated image in both)
I found this CSS as an alternative to a clearing div and it seems
to fix things in other browsers - except those IE's:
#NameofContainingDiv:after {
clear: both;
content: ".";
display: block;
height: 0px;
visibility: hidden;
}
Would anyone be able to have a look?
Here's the link:

Any other thoughts, comments, suggestions - always appreciated.
TIA,
Henrik Madsen
