IE likes to be awkward

This page on my site:
http://www.cotswold-scenes.com/taste...-cotswolds.php

displays fine in safari, firefox but not in IE. This is the div class:

.fronttemp01{
clear:both;
float:left;
padding:10px 40px 0px 40px;
}

Can anyone tell me what's wrong?

Thanks for any help
James

using clear AND float on the same element never works correctly in IE.

AND IE6 doesn't support a XHTML1.1 doctype so will be in "quirks" mode

When you float something, you must give it a defined width.

IE also does NOT support XHTML 1.1, you'll have to drop back to 1.0.

thanks guys. The whole site is xhtml 1.1
By changing each page to from 1.1 to 1.0 will I have to change some coding too?
