IE6 float model

[ChiefNX]

Does anyone know any sites that have solutions and explanations concerning the (infamous) IE float/clear bug? Until now, it's never been a problem, but I could really do with something to help me.

I know this is going to sound crazy, but can you post the HTML/CSS that you have? Usually the solution will be an easy fix and won't require using <div class="clearfix"></div> (and applying clear: both;) to it), which I find to be completely unnecessary unless you're working with a 100% height document layout anyway.

Yes you're right. 99% of the times that I've have errors with browser consistency, it's something completely arbitrary that I've either overlooked, or didn't consider related to the problem.

I've just gone back and had a look and all that needed doing was to set a height for the div.

Isn't dealing with IE's idiosyncrasies a pain? :p
