IE 7 clear:both not working

IE7 apparently has a bug where clear:both doesn’t work correctly. It would work periodically if I refreshed the page, but that doesn’t give any consistency. Took awhile to find the solution, but here it is:

Set the parent element to have height:100%. It should work now. For clarity sake, here’s some sample code:
<div style="height:100%">
<div style="float:left;width:100px;">left stuff</div>
<div style="float:right;width:100px;">right stuff</div>
<div style="clear:both;">Clear</div>
</div>
