try a search for 'containing floats'
simple terms: floats are removed from the flow, so the parent element does not know that they are there, let alone how tall they are
Solutions:
put something "real" after the floats, (a clearing div?)
try "easyclearing",
or use one of the recommended CSS methods which is to set the parent elemnt to float also - not always best if container is centered - or set the parent to overflow: auto or hidden
- choice is yours ;)
