You are floating the first to the right, which makes it only as wide as it
has to be. A float is an element that only takes up as much space as it
needs
The second is a typical block level element, so it takes up the entire space
it's allotted.

Subject: [css-d] why are these two <h2>s different?
Hi list,
Having fun learning css, but this is getting me. As seen in the markup
below, I'm using <h2> in two instances. In the first instance, along with
the text comes what appears to be a line-break before and another one
after. However, in the 2nd instance, the before and after spaces aren't
there. Is there an explanation for this?
Also, in Win/IE, it's more like 2 spaces after the text, instead of one
before and one after. Is this discrepancy normal?
Thanks for any assistance.
