Opera float within a float

[Kyle James Matthews]

Hello,

I am curious if any of you have a solution to a problem I am having on
this page: <http://www.digitalovertone.com/new/index2.php>. The
navigation bar displays correctly on every browser I have tested (IE5,
IE5.5, IE6, NN6, NN7, Mozilla 1.7, FireFox0.8) except Opera, which
refuses to respect my "float:right" rule (I think). Any solutions?

Alternatively, is there a better way to achieve this same effect? I
tried to do it without floats and "display:block" and with just
"text-align:right," which eliminates a lot of markup but I feel the
effect of the whole link box changing color is lost. And different
browsers rebelled in different ways when I tried to fix that.

Many thanks for any suggestions.

Kyle

Opera currently indeed has a problem with nested floats when the width of
the outer float (in this case 'links') isn't defined: this outer width
gets minimized, forcing the floats to wrap beneath each other.

A solution would be to specify 'width:100%;' for this DIV, and to change
the float of the nested links to 'right' (and change the order of the
links in the HTML source...)
