Float: right causing horizontal scrollbars in IE7 2

[ca8msm]

Can anyone see why the page here has horizontal scrollbars in IE7 (it doesn't in FireFox).

In my CSS file, if I remove the float:right from the following declaration, the problem goes away, however I want that section floated to the right!

#headAddress {float: right;font-size: 80%;padding:0 20px 5px 0;}

Thanks,
Mark

Have not looked at your site but often people have problems with ie vs ff floats because IE treats floated elements differntly that ff. Read that and see if clearing your float fixes the problem. If not post html and css.

I don't think it's a problem with clearing (although I could be wrong!) as the items underneath are cleared fine in both browsers. The problem is just that IE7 seems to create extra width for the page even though the elements are positioned how I want them.

[tt]address[/tt] tag. It's pretty sad when IE penalizes you for using little known but appropriate tags. I suggest you get rid of it to please IE.

I've changed the address tag to a div but it's still got the same issue, so I don't think it's that.

Sorry, I take that back - I must have been looking at a cached version.

That's an annoying bug but I'm glad you knew that as I was struggling to find out what I'd done wrong.

Actually, this brings up I question. According to w3:

The address element may be used by authors to supply contact information for a document or a major part of a document such as a form. This element often appears at the beginning or end of a document.

I was using the <address> element to show the client's address, not an address to be used for contacting someone in regards to the document itself. Do you think I was using it incorrectly or is it just down to how you interpret the above statement?
