If you are familiar with the concepts of "floats", you know that if you float a page element to the left, that the next page element will move up next to that element on the right, if possible. But have you ever seen your floated elements "stepdown"?

It should be noted that this seems to be an IE issue only.

Another remedy is to float the li element as well. That removes the kind of awkward block element within an inline element issue.
