Re: Sanity test......firefox versus IE

Why? Because apparently IE "ASSUMES" a floating element whereas in firefox,
it is demanded.

IE doesn't assume a float, it just renders incorrectly. You can test
this by changing it to float:none for the iright style.

Yet another reason why to give up IE entirely and switch to a better browser
such as firefox.

Sample:

style type="text/css"

.main { width:1000px; height:900px; }
.navbar { width:200px; height:900px; background-color:#7F7; float:left;}
.middle { width:200px; height:900px; background-color:#F44; float:left;}
.iright { width:400px; height:900px; background-color:#44F; float:left;}
/style

Leave out the float:left in column 3 and check out the results in both
browsers.

Maybe IE will eventually grow up and join the crowd.
