Brian,
I had a look at it in Opera 7.54, Firefox 0.9.3 and IE6, and they are 
clearing and spacing alright. Slight differences in the spacing below 
the new float indicate that all 3 browsers reacts slightly different - 
depending on which </div> is cleared with what.

You are using a 'div.spacer' (with dimensions and &nbsp;) as clearing, 
in addition to two 'br.break' (without dimensions). You may have to move 
each of those clearer-elements around and see which of those last </div> 
should be cleared by what in order to make it uniform across browsers. 
It looks alright as it is though - just different...

IE5.0-win may not be a target, but I tested it anyway. Box-model 
problems are destroying the layout / clearing in that one.

I experimented with a much larger negative right margin on the new float 
- and a changed width, and it landed correctly with addition of 
'margin-right: -400;  _width: 50%; _w\idth: 100%;' on div#contact for 
IE-win in quirks-mode / standard mode. However, the whole layout is off 
in IE5.0-win, so I didn't go further.

If you want to adress the older IE-win browsers, you should use a proper 
'*html' hack or a 'conditional comment' to target them. I use 'leading 
underscore' and 'unitless values' for testing (quick and dirty) only.

good luck
	Georg
