This seems to work in every browser but one (Internet Explorer). No
matter what I tried in IE, I couldn't persuade a DIV to do the trick.
This sounds like you are testing on IE in "Quirks Mode" (or on a very old,
pre-IE6 version of IE). If you put
<!DOCTYPE html>
as the first line of the HTML document, you will see the page in non-quirks
mode ("Standards Mode"). This isn't needed in IE9, which seems to honor the
settings even in Quirks Mode (this might be unintentional, as the Quirks
Mode generally imitates IE 5 behavior), but it's needed for some older
versions.
