Using clear:both; causes problems in the left and right <div>
columns, meaning that each <divis not autonomous, they
interact with each other when clear: styles apply.

Hi Ben,
The problem is with IE6 (and possibly all versions of IE). I've
corrected the problem by using a table. I gave up on trying to
get the <divto work. Maybe I've got something going in a
global <divdeclare somewhere, but I tend to think of more
as an IE only problem.
Basically, the problem occurs when wrapping those three small
pictures into a <div style="width:100%;">. In such a case I need
to clear:both; but the clear:both; breaks out of the container id-
entified as, <div id="content">, and causes the container for the
pictures (<div style="clear:both;">) to fall below the bottoms of
the two outside (<div id="left_side"and <div id="right_side">)
containers.
Perhaps there's another way to get around this, I took a look at
the link Bergadot posted,
http://webhost.bridgew.edu/etribou/l.../skidoo_redux/
and I started to test things out with that, and read through the
commented CSS there. But I ended up throwing a table in to
contain the small images and it works much better than trying
to get a <div style="clear:both;"or <div style="width:100%;">
container to hold the images.
I'm reading through the link you posted right at this moment.
You wrote a pretty good explanation of using floats to do
columns ends up with some unexpected results (specifically
I see the unexpected results inside of IE).
