Since you are on a short time line, I'll answer without looking.  The 
float is almost certainly the cause of the problem.  IE5 for Mac is 
the only popular browser that will expand floats without a declared 
width to 100%.  This often causes spectacular breakage.  The best 
solution is to explicitly declare a width on the float (which, as it 
happens, it required by the 2.0 spec).

HTH,
