I have a page that's causing me some problems in FireFox 1.5 but not
IE6.
I have a <dl> with the <dt> and <dd> both within defined with "float:
left" to have a table-like look.
See it at http://bubba.textdriven.com/partners.htm and
http://bubba.textdriven.com/partners-2.htm.
The issue I'm concerned with is the following block - an <h3> - does
not get cleared in FF (partners.htm), so I've tried a "clear: both" for
the H3 (see partners-2.htm). However, the bottom of the <dl> and the
top of the <h3> are then squished together too close.
This does not happen in IE, but perhaps that's a problem with IE.
What do I need to do so that I can have a table-like structure for my
contact details, while still having a nice gap between it and the next
block? I haven't had much luck styling the <dl>, except for a very
large bottom padding or margin, which then screws up IE.
Obvious answer is to use a table I suppose, but any other options I
could go for? I'm open to anything.

Use padding instead of margin.

set explicit margins on both elements.

Looks like tabular data to me. Use a table.
