why won't it work?

The two inner divisions will not show entirely in the container for nuthin.
This did not used to be such a pain. I'm wondering if the browser writers
have changed the behavior of css.

Not that you bother to answer any advice I give you, but try overflow:
hidden; on your container. Are you perhaps interested to know why you
are having this trouble rather than this or that fix?
I am in a bad mood it seems!

Me two. I just get so frustrated sometimes I can't seem to recall simple
fixes.
Thanks for the kick.

No, they have not.

You forgot to ask dorayme why you are having this trouble so she could point
you to her rather excellent series of articles on the matter.

Easy for this to happen with RtS.

You two, or you three?

You don't *need* "simple fixes" if you truly understood what float really
does.

I am in a better mood now that I have had a drink! Richard Newsguy has
driven me to it. Let's all of us start a *barn* dance? We will float
around the ballroom and not worry about overflows, the more the
merrier... <g>

Nah. I don't dance, well not when I am sober anyway. I'll just accompany you

I hear ya, dorayme...
Is it ok to dance with one's own mum? :)

As long as you are nekkid and do a pole dance for us.

Always so easy to attach those stereotyped monikers ain't it?
Like you're do damned perfect 100% of the time you don't require any

Just don't let them make like they are two years old and leap up on you
in their dancing excitement, they are bad enough when they are two on
the parental spine! <g>

rf was saying that it is better to get a more comprehensive view of the
float rules than just be advised about one fix in one particular
situation. I don't think you realise how much he loves you. He is just
shy and this is his way.
By the way, that overflow rule I mentioned will fail in IE6 in
situations where the container needs to grow height. Check your's out.
If in IE6 the container does grow height and enclose its children in the
way you want, it is not the overflow rule causing it. If it is not
enclosing its floated children, there are fixes for this. Sometimes one
of the simplest is to give the container an explicit width. Other fixes
include putting a non-floated child cleared to below the floats...

Thanks.
In my actual output, I have an <hr> to clear the floats with.
I figure every browser should know how to handle one of them.
I also have the floated divisions using display:block as well as a fixed
width.

Perhaps you might have shown the relevant bits in your posted code. If
you had a cleared non-float child in the first place, you might not have
needed the overflow rule on the container? I am not meaning to suggest -
God forbid! - that you should actually post any URL. Let's not go
overboard now! <g>
