Sounds like you don't have an element with 'clear: both'
at the end of .casestudy.
Try '<div style="clear: both;"></div>'.
The floated img itself won't push down the bottom edge,
but the cleared element won't render until it can touch both
side container margins. This forces it below the float, and
it *pulls* the entire container bottom down with it.
BTW, 'aligned left' should be avoided
when discussing floats. ;-)
