Ask for help: background-image disappears on Internet Explorer 7 when in a div with float

I came across a strange CSS bug with IE 7 today. When I have a container that is floating and I use a text replacement technique the image does not show. Remove the float and it does. Or alternatively remove the DocType and it also works.

Browsing the 'net I haven't managed to find this bug. Have you come across this before? Do you have an explanation?

Personas: rich insight developed through research and making it an actionable design and decision-making tool

Adaptive Path: Making Strategy Tangible

Reading Adaptive Path's article on Marking Strategy Tanglible, I came across a brilliant definition of strategy. While the dictionary defines strategy as:

a plan of action or policy designed to achieve a major or overall aim

Jared Cole provides a more practical definition:

… a way of communicating the value of a pursuing a particular goal, the activities required to attain the goal, and the ways that leadership will guide the process.
