Content flow problem

Axel Siebenwirth

Hi,

I'm completely lost with an issue of content flow. I have a top part
with two title images and a dropdown menu underneath.

Below I want a left-handside div containing some paintings and on the
right-handside the textual content.

Now, the flow of it, as it is now, is completely incomprehensible to me.
Why are is #left way too far on the right side?
Taking out #menu fixes the problem... But why???

I'm aiming at both Firefox and IE6+.

Thanks for any hints explaining this to me...
Best regards,
Axel Siebenwirth

Try reading the article at brainjar.com on CSS floats. One of the few
readable refs on CSS flow models.

The peanut gallery will be along shortly to complain about the HTML
markup issues you didn't ask about and aren't causing the problem
(<?xml ?> prologs, use of XHTML 1.1). If you're lucky, David Dorward
will then blame XHTML for causing all the trouble.

I left out the xml stuff and only used this:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

also tried:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

So XHTML is not responsible.

But Firefox still behaves the same. Mozilla as well. IE renders as expected.
What is causing this? Don't understand it at all.

Best regards,
