Floats inside a scrolling div inside a table

Let's say you've some content inside a div with a defined size, which is inside a table. The div is set to overflow: auto, so any content that won't fit should scroll.

In Safari and Shiira, if the content inside the div is floated, the table height (not the div height) will expand to fit the height of the content inside the div.

I've had success with setting overflow:auto;overflow-y:auto;

I thought I had it fixed with Tim's comment, but it was just my error. So far, no workarounds :(
