CSS issue: IE making a mess of <object>

| I can't supply an URL because of the content on the site.
I have a three column w/ header & footer layout, extremely similar to the
one I used at www.grayscalecms.com
When I put a video, via <object> in the #main div, it makes all of #main
scoot over onto the left navbar. It pushes that left nav bar down, almost
like it is destroying the floats.
Is there a special way that I need to treat <object>?

Did you close the <object> tag? Did you match quotes for the attributes
(if you don't use quotes on one side, don't use them on either side of
the attribute data. If you used quotes [as you should :p], make sure
they are on both sides of the data)
Being 4:00am, that's probably the best you'll get out of me for a while

I am thinking it's more to do with the floats, maybe the clear propity
would fix it?
I still don't know enough about CSS to give you a really good answer
though, and it is IE where talking about after all.

You *could* create a test page with the same document structure but
without sensitive content, so people could see what you're doing.

In Firefox, I got a string of Windows Media Player Plug-in dll illegal
operations. There's space for the video and all your floats are working
properly, but there's (not surprisingly) nothing where the video should be.
Oh, and when I went "back to blog index", Firefox vanished altogether.
Tried again, this time I got the error once, then FF crashed again.
Not sure if this is a symptom of your problem, or a problem with my FF -
sometimes I can see WM content, sometimes I get the plugin error.
