collapsing divs in IE7

I have a run of in-flow divs. They look great in Safari, Firefox on my
Mac, but, in IE7, with the IE7 compatible code option on, all the
items that do not directly contain text collapse at the top of the
containing div (ie, divs that have nothing in them but another div
collapse, although the div they contained displays correctly, and in
roughly the right place.

Does anyone know of a way to get around this? Am I doing something
wrong, or is FW5?

(If I use the IE6/IE7 compatible option, then the page does look right
in IE7, but I’d prefer not to compromise the output for the sake of
IE6 compatibility.)

Thanks
Jeff

Step 1: Nuke Redmond.
Step 2: Nuke it again, just in case.

Does anybody involved in pushing such a third-rate bit of software
onto an unwary world deserve anything less?

I hope you are talking about an EMP, not an actual “nuke” here,
right? I am as anti Redmond as the next guy, but my buddy (and yours)
Tim lives there now… He can always buy more computers.

Hmm. Okay, find out when Tim’s on vacation. Dangit, this is getting
complicated. No wonder Microsoft is still there!
