</div>Seems to be an IE CSS bug like in<br>

That case fails in IE7; it works in IE8 (and in recent versions of<br>
Firefox, Opera, Safari, Konqueror).<br>
<br>
I don't know if there's a 'proper' way to fix this, but adding<br>
h4 { position: relative; }<br>
into the page's CSS makes it work correctly in IE7, and doesn't affect<br>
any other browser.<br>

is, an IE7 bug). Position:relative is a hasLayout trigger in IE7.
Generally speaking, an element's behavior when it has layout is the
correct behavior (or at least *more* correct).<br>
