I have an element positioned outisde its parent via negative margins, like this:

<style>
.parent {
    height: 1%;
}

.element {
    float: left;
    margin-left: -4px;
}
</style>

...

<div class="parent">
    <div class="element">Element</div>
</div>

In Internet Explorer 6, the part of .element positioned outside of its parent element is clipped, i.e. invisible, hidden, cut off. How do I fix this?
