Hi,
Thanks, where I got confused is with the static attribute which
does not take top, right, bottom and left values(http://

hi Natalie,
just delete the height rule from the .floatleft div. that way the
divs will expand to contain the text.
in fact, Mozilla and Firefox are behaving exactly as the standards say
they should - it's IE that is getting it wrong by expanding the div
beyond your stated height.
