IMHO (and I'm no expert), I expect a DIV to display as a box large enough to
display all its offspring. It doesn't in Firefox 1 as shown at
http://www.maxstamps.com/index.1.html
PS it does in the MS browser ...

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to example page.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
a bit of a mess, visually.

Expected Results:  
DIV displays as a box large enough to contain all its child objects.

See

If I change the div.footer CSS from "float:clear left" to "float: left; clear:
left;", it renders as expected. Looks like not a bug.
