title: IE not clearing subsequent floats
body: <p>I'm trying to get two divs to float to opposite sides of the page, with text flowing between them.  The top of the second (left-aligned) div should be even with the bottom of the first (right-aligned) div.  The code below works fine in FF, Chrome, Opera, etc. fine, but they do not clear properly in IE.  Both divs appear at the top of the text.</p>
  
  <p>If I move the left-aligned div low enough within the text, it works fine in IE, but that's not really a sustainable solution.</p>
  
  <p>I've found multiple pages on IE CSS float bugs, but I haven't found anything speaking directly to this.</p>
  
  <p><strong>CSS</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>div {
      width: 200px;
      margin-top: 10px;
      border-style: solid;
      border-width: 1px;
      position: relative;
  }
  .wrapper {
      width: 600px;
      border-color: #FF0000;
  }
  .right {
      float: right;
      border-color: #00FF00;
  }
  .left {
      float: left;
      clear: both;
      border-color: #0000FF;
  }
