Try floating the outer

Try floating the outer container. If this is impractical, use this declaration in the CSS for the outer DIV:

{overflow: auto;}'

You may need to add a dimension to the container as well. "width:100%;" should work without upsetting things.

These establish a new "block formatting context." See here:
