IE 7 fixes their height bug but doesn't add support for :after. Therefore, above needs to be tweaked.

   1  .cf:after { content: "."; display: block; height: 0; clear: both; visibility: hidden; }
   2  .cf { display:inline-block; } /*this trips hasLayout for ie7*/
   3  .cf { display:block; } /*this returns it back to normal*/


be sure to feed

   1  .cf { display:inline-block; }
to ie5 for the mac
   1  .cf { height:1% }
for ie6 and below
