(solved) css float problem in IE

Below my template and stylesheet for CSS-menu top + 2 columns. The sidebar wont float in IE (Ok in Firefox), it goes to the right, but gets surroundeed by the text of the main-div, see http://www.delindezutphen.nl/cmsmadesimple/. The very very very strange thing is, that when I copy the template, stylesheet and menu in the tryout on CMSMS on http://www.opensourcecms.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=452 .... everything works. Aaarhg. ???





{* Change lang="en" to the language of your site *}



{sitename} - {title}
{* The sitename is changed in Site Admin/Global settings. {title} is the name of each page *}

{metadata}

#container {height: 1%;}


{/literal}
{* The min and max page width for Internet Explorer is set here. For other browsers it's in the stylesheet "Layout: Top menu + 2 columns" *}





{* The above JavaScript is required for CSSMenu to work in IE *}

    {* Horizontal ruler that is hidden for visual browsers by CSS *}

  {* Start Header, with logo image that links to the default start page. Logo image is changed in the stylesheet  "For template: Left menu + 1 column" *}

            {cms_selflink dir="next" label="Volgende pagina: "}
       
        {* The label parameter doesn't need to be there if you're using English, but is here to show how it's used if you don't want the English text "Previous page" *}
{* End relational links *}

.... found it. The search-box didn't have enough space, due to a label in Dutch. That screwed everything up....
