Answer 1

you need to clearfix the div you insert after container :

<div id="container">
</div>

<div id="mydiv" class="clearfix">
</div>

and CSS:

.clearfix {
   clear:both;
   display:block;
}

Answer 2

Change the style for #container_li to (i.e. remove the absolute positioning).

#container li
{
    display: block;
    list-style: none;
    margin: -4px 0px 0px 0px;
    padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
}

Maybe you should also alter #container ul to (remove relative positioning)

#container ul{
    list-style:none;
    margin:0px;
    padding:0px;
    display:block;
}

Offset of -4px works for IE, -5px for Firefox.

Answer 3

You can fix this by setting the height and width on #container ul. That is what I've done when making a photo rotator, since the image sizes are usually known ahead of time.
