There is no requirement that the H1 be the first thing on the page. There is a requirement that if heading tags be used that the H1 be the first heading tag used on the page. You can find that spelled out in the HTML Mobile standards, the ISO standards and in the WCAG 1.0 Checkpoint 3.5

2004-08-11 Thread Patrick H. Lauke
If you float all the content of a div, you take that content out of the normal document flow. The containing div is now empty, and doesn't wrap around the floated elements anymore...it's still there, but has a height of 0 (or well, of whatever non-floated content is left there, in your case).

I was wrong on all 3 counts. It's the IE Peekaboo bug; add height:1% to your .credit declaration and the two floated classes appear... but the black border of #information is then affected... bugger. It's too late in the day; I'll have another look tomorrow, if someone hasn't already come up
