stop trying to be a control freak.

Thanks for the psychological advice brucie.
Thanks to all those who also responded with technical advice.
Thje final solution I retained was to make the floated div 50% and leave the
other one's width unspecified.

Despite your apparent resistance, you seem to have headed in the
direction that brucie recommended. Well done. There's hope for you
in web design yet :-}

There's no Strict in XHTML 1.1.

Looks fine in Firefox, but in IE 6.x,

Win IE doesn't know XHTML 1.1 (MIME type: application/xhtml+xml).
