[thelist] cross browser <div> float weirdness

[John Corry]

What a mess.
The site is Joomla...with a template from RocketTheme that is mostly error
free. The errors were all in my image gallery code which was script
generated from a bunch of XML files. I found a lot of double quotes in
strings that are used as alt attributes.

OK, clean up to do...I'll work on that and come back when the HTML is
good...

Thanks
