Extend Parent div Around Floated Child div?

[cyber0ne]

Suppose I have the following:

<style type="text/css">#parent{  width: 750px;  margin: auto;}#child{  float: right;  width: 250px;}</style><div id="parent">  ...  <div id="child">    ...  </div></div>

In IE, the parent div extends down to fully encompass the child div, even if the child's content is longer than the parent's. But in more standards-compliant browsers, the parent div ends when its non-child content ends, and if the child is longer it extends down out of the parent.Is there any way in CSS to specify the behavior being seen in IE? That is, to have the parent div always fully encompass the child div within its padding, even though it's floated?-cyber0nehttp://www.cyber0ne.com

<style type="text/css">#parent{ width: 750px; margin: auto; overflow:hidden; background-color:#F00;}#child{ float: right; width: 250px; background-color:#0F0;}</style><div id="parent"> ...Parent <div id="child">   ...Child </div><!-- <br style="clear:right" /> THIS br u can use if your not want 2 use the overflow:hidden; in the parent div --></div>
