Couple of comments:
Can't really test this without seeing the rest of the code, but some ideas:

• You shouldn't be using the same ID as a class. An ID is meant to be unique to a single item - a class name can be (and often is) shared amongst many items.
• The problem may be in the H2 inside the DIV. It's display type is block by default, so add this to your stylesheet:
DIV .PageHeadingLeft.H2{display:inline;}
• the width:20% may also cause problems (possibly), try omitting it and see what happens.
• the <BR> is gonna make life very difficult. To pull this off you may have to specify a fixed height (in em units perhaps)
• Try using float:left instead of display:inline - It should be easier to get working properly.

Hi

I have a web site, I'm in the porcess of 'de-framing', 'de-tabling' and 'ajaxing' (hidden frames were used to do hidden submits) but am puzzled by firefox v explorer behaviour

ie I am using divs to align things and have a series of divs across the top of a page

<DIV id="PageHeadingLeft" class="PageHeadingLeft"><H2> Acc No: 2882<BR>KUMEU ALUM - Merv Test Account</H2></DIV>

the css for this is

DIV.PageHeadingLeft {
vertical-align: middle;
text-align: left;
font-family: arial;
display: inline;
width: 20%;
border: 0px solid black;
}

now the problem in firefox the following div breaks (ie it ignores the display: inline!) but ie respects it!

What should I do? (other than abandon divs and go back to tables!)
