Fellow web editors, please give me your input!

I am working on a website which works just fine in Firefox (of course)
and until today it has worked correctly in IE7. But I was adding
content today and two pages, and only two pages, are suffering from the
"expanding box problem" according to my validator. Thing is, while
there is a <div> which wraps the whole page and has a fixed width, there
are no set widths for the internal <div>s and they are floated.

Why would this happen to only two pages when the whole site shares one
stylesheet and I haven't manually changed anything style-wise on these
pages, only the content? While I would like to write this off to IE
gremlins, I need this to work. What do I do to fix this? And maybe more
importantly, anyone have any ideas as to what I did to cause this?

Thanks.
