neogemima Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Are you trying to have #middleleft float left of #expansion or #middle? There is no div for it to float left of, it's contained inside of #middle and has two other divs inside of it. It will essentially not float next to anything in that case and just give you a buggy visual. Try getting rid of the float property and see what it looks like or be more specific in how this is supposed to look.
