IE/win (all versions) needs a 'hasLayout'[1] trigger on that #floatwrap,
and 'overflow: hidden' only acts as such a trigger in IE7, while
'height: 1%' acts as a 'hasLayout' trigger in all versions.
The 'width: auto' is default, and doesn't have to be written since
IE/win understands that much anyway.
Note that the combination of 'overflow: hidden' and 'height: (any
value)' may result in hidden content in some even older IE/win versions.
The safest solution is actually to write two sets of styles...
#floatwrap {
overflow: hidden;
margin: 10px;
border: thin solid #FF6600;
}
* html #floatwrap {
overflow: visible;
height: 1%;
}
...to make it work reliable in all IE/win versions.

Georg
