IE 7 problem with width

194 100+

hi everyone,

there is some very very basic code dat i tried to see how things working in CSS. but at the very begining this is what im getting here. here is the code:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

  
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
 
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

<title>Untitled Document</title>
 
<style type="text/css">
 
<!--

body, div{

    margin:0;

    padding:0;
 
}

#header {
 
}

#header #left {

    background-color: #036;

    height: 100px;

    width: 50%;

    float: left;
 
}

#header #right {

    background-color: #666;

    width: 50%;

    float: right;

    height:100px;
 
}

-->

</style><body>

<div id="header">

  <div id="left"></div>

  <div id="right"></div>

</div>
 
</body>

</html>

You have a missing closing head tag.

Instead of 50%, try making it 49.99% and you can float it left instead of right.
