The paragraph inside the box to the left is floating. The box (the div) has a specified height. So if you were to increase the text size, the paragraph would float outside the div/box.

I don't think the float has anything to do with it. If you have any div, and set a height to it. Then add more content to it than it can hold, It will either stretch it (IE) or pop out of it (FF). You could set the height in em that way the box would get higher when the font size changes.

no no no... You don't see. If content is floating over a fixed div (one that has been sized) and the content that is floating is longer or wider than the content in which fixed, the content floating will spill out of the div visually uncontained.

Ah that is a better explanation of your problem. What you need is to put as the last thing the the fixed div.

<div style="clear:both"></div>

That should fix it.
