[thelist] aligning floated divs.

I'm looking up a bunch of products from a database and floating the results
using css thus:

div.float {
	float: left;
	width: 120px;
	border: 1px solid #000000;
	text-align: center;
	background-color: #ffffff;
	margin: 2px;
	padding: 2px;
	}

div.float img {
	border: 1px solid #000000;
}

div.float p {
	text-align: center;
	margin: 0px;
	padding: 0px;
	}
div.float A {text-decoration: none; font-size: 0.8em;}

My problem is if one he heights is taller than the others, then the divs
will wrap badly. I've got fixed widths on the divs, but want to avoid fixed
heights if possible.

I want:
{} {} {} {}
{} {} {} {}

But if the heights vary I can get:
{} [] {} {}
	{} {}
{} {} [] {}
         {}

... or worse!

does that make sense?

These look more or less like I want them too:
