I have really annoying problem with some containers I'm building and I think it's down to my CSS.

I'm not using tables in my container just DIVS  and I'm using a transitional doctype.

On the top 'row' of my container, I have 3 DIVs containing the ACTIONS, ICON & TITLE tokens and float them all left. When ACTIONS is visible it occupies 100% of the top row forcing my ICON and TITLE tokens onto the following line.

If I set a width for the ACTIONS DIV then all is well in ADMIN mode and in USER mode in Firefox.  But in IE6/IE7 in USER mode the width of the empty DIV is displayed (in firefox no width for the empty displays and my ICON, TITLE icons align nicely to the left).

Noi matter what I try I can't seem to supress the width for the empty DIV in IE, and more surprisingly my searches on Google have drawn a blank.

Any suggestions would be very wlecome.
