IE double margin float bug

[Eric Lindsay]

My site http://www.architectqueensland.com is almost certainly running
into the IE5/IE6 double margin float bug described at

http://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer/doubled-margin.html

However I am unsure about the least bad way to get around it.
https://www.positioniseverything.net...oatIndent.html suggest using
display: inline; while
http://plone.org/documentation/how-t...ble-margin-bug suggest an
additional div wrapper with height: 0.1%;

Does anyone have any comments about potential side effects from either
approach, on other browsers, or on IE7?

Hi, Eric

Tested in IE7, FF2.0 and Opera 9 works fine with both fixes. But I
find 'display:inline ' aproach much more elegant. It does not require
meaningless extra divs, and keep the CSS things more simple. Also if
is faster to fix site with this aproach.

Thanks for that. display: inline; was the way I thought best, but it
looked simple enough that I thought there must be some downside (like
IE7 falling over) that I didn't know about.
