I am attempting to float a number of div elements side by side, whilst

Consider the 9 rules governing the behaviour of floats, in the CSS 2.1
specification:http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visuren.html#propdef-float
In my opinion, Internet Explorer is directly violating rule #5, by
placing the outer top of div 3 above the outer top of div 2. IE seems
to obey rules 8 and 9 - that higher placement is preferred - whilst
not observing #5 (though they are not mutually exclusive, as proved by
the other browsers!).

As you say it seems quite clear-cut that rule 5 is being violated.
Can you change the source? *All is well if divs 2 and 3 are put into
another one and the clear property is applied to that containing div.

I ended up removing the clear style from div 2 and introduced a zero
size div with the clear style, right after number two. Hoped to avoid
this, but alas!
Thanx for verifying my suspicions!
