title: css, html help : float left and right, cutting off background to expand past div
body: <p>I have a div floating left and a div floating right, and I would like to have a background-color changed. It changes the background, but it stops right before the floating divs. When I take them off, it continues having the correct background color that I desire.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div style='clear:both;border-bottom:3px solid #999;border-top:#333 solid thin;background:#D7E7E8;position:relative;'&gt;
      &lt;div style='width:1091px;margin:0 auto;margin-top:70px;'&gt;
          &lt;div style='float:left;width:200px;border:thin solid black;margin-bottom:50px;position:relative;'&gt;
              float LEFT
          &lt;/div&gt;
          &lt;div style='float:right;border:thin solid black; width:800px;border:thin solid black;margin-bottom:50px;position:relative;'&gt;
              float RIGHT
          &lt;/div&gt;
      &lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>thank you!</p>
