Any idea why IE 6 has a problem with this float?

This is the page:

http://www.housing.uwaterloo.ca/

The div that says "Apply Now for Winter 2008!" in about the middle of the page is the problem. The float on it is somehow throwing the left side menu out of position. I can't figure out why though.

Any ideas? (probably something really dumb that I've overlooked!)

Thanks for any help Smiling

Did you get it fixed? I don't see a problem.

Well, you do seem to have IE's infamous margin doubling going on with that float. Try adding the declaration "display: inline;" to the rule for #w08promo. Makes no sense, and is ignored by real browsers.

Hope this fixes the problem.

Cordially, David

I dont see it too, except the spacing has changed for the unordered list...
