Hi, Scott You have to put your quote before all like :
<div class="pullquote"><p>pull-quote text</p></div> <div class="sidebar"><p>sidebar item 1. sidebar item 1. sidebar item 1. </p></div> <div class="sidebar"><p>sidebar item 2. sidebar item 2. sidebar item 2. </p></div> <div id="content"> <p>Ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ullamco laboris nisi lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, velit esse cillum dolore. Ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.</p> ... </div> </div> And give a width for your "pullquote" div. Cheers!

My confusion suggests that I'm missing some basic concept of how floats behave and I'm finding it frustrating... http://www.capstrat.com/development/test-float.html In this example, all code is wrapped with a containing div (yellow background). The two side-bar divs live (code-wise) just before the content div (dark grey backround), just inside the container div and are floated right. The pull-quote (violet background) is the first thing inside of the content div. I'm expecting this to look the way that IE renders it: sidebars to the right, pull-quoute in the upper-left corner of the content div. In Firefox, the pullquote drops within the content to clear the first sidebar. Why? Can someone give me a little guidance on this?
