CSS float:left always inserts line break

1 New Member
I have two columns of data [namely a navigation list and content block]. They are enclosed in a global div that defines the background colour, width, border, all that good stuff. Each column also has its own div block which contains a bit more formatting [namely float:left on both of them, and a few more things]. I had wanted both items to show on the same line [without using tables, if possible], but in FF/Opera, it adds a line break at the start of the second column. I've attached some screenshots of them in respective browsers:
IE:


FF:



Suggestions ?

Without a link, or the complete markup, it's impossible to help.

Please make sure that each item is enclosed in the div tag
and of course without complete markup no one can help.

I've got a calendar that is based on the concept of lots of blocks that are spans with float:left. I would like to be able to have a detail section on the right side of the screen, so that when the user selects an item on the calendar, the detail can get displayed on the right side there. What I have below appears to look perfect in mozilla based browsers - the detail is aligned at the top right corner of the calendar, but in IE the...

Hi. I am using DIVs for lay outs rather than tables but cannot resolve a catch 22. I need to use the float: left so that I can get DIVs to line up in rows however, float : left does not respect the text-align : horizontal of its parent container. Therefore its impossible to center DIVs that you need to position horizontally. Therefore I cannot see any other way of doing this other than using tables. Is there a workaround? --

Hey, Is it possible to change line on a float object? For example let say I have one <b> tag, one <p> tag and one <img> tag: I want the <img> to have float right and the <b> to have float left then I want the <p> to have float none so it will go around the image. However if I have float left on the <b> tag the <p> will stay on the same line as <b> and the only way I know how to move it down is by giving the <b> tag a width on 100% see...

I'm back again, Intro: I've got a floating div (outerDIV) with fixed width that contains an image (IMG) and a div that contains a short text (innerDIV) Problem: In FF, the innerDIV is displaying under the IMG because outerDIV is not wide enough to contain both of them (in some instances). In the instances where the outerDIV is wide, I don't have this problem. IE wraps the text but still keeps it to the right of the IMG. FF doesn't...
