float bugs in MSIE?

[Christoffer Berg]

Hi

Please see http://217.209.105.84/float.html for two problems
with floated divs in MSIE.

Problem 1: the text next to the floated div gets indented even though
there is enough left margin in the text so that the text should not be
effected by the div.

Problem 2: The left margin of the floated div appears twice as wide
in MSIE as it should.

Especially the second one is annoying. Am I doing something
wrong or is this just a bug? If it's a bug, is there any workaround
or something?

regards
/Christoffer

Problem2 I use this workaround:

div1 {
left-margin:200px;
}

div2 {

float:left;
left-margin:200px;
//left-margin:100px;
}

In fact, I think we encountered this one last year as well - I was in
hospital with a broken leg at the time. Try adding a 'font-size: 100%'.

Sorry I am not in a position to try it myself.
