Line break not appearing in <DIV> in IE8
===

This is my html

    <div style="width:100%;clear:both;"/>

The above empty **div** creates a line break in IE6 & IE7.  In IE8 it is not creating any line breaks.  I do not think the style of this div is the problem.  I am not able to find a post related to this Stackoverflow.  Please clarify or point me to the right post.
