Multiple sidebars on both sides

I've read up on CSS positioning with floats, but I don't know if I'm
missing somthing simple or if I'm stretching things too far.

I can put one sidebar on each side (float:left and float:right). The
problem begins when I try to place more than one sidebar on each side. In
IE 6 it looks OK. In Firebird/Mozilla, either the left or the right
sidebars get shifted down below the point where sidebars on the other side
end:

(Sidebars on both sides should line up at the top.)

CSS: http://www.wolnewyrazy.pl/style/ww.css

Is there a cure?

Thanks a lot,
..marek

You won't like it, me likewise, but I use this:

<div style='width:900px;'>
<div id="wrapper">

Yes. Multible sidebars is stupid design. Rethink structure of the site.

You are doing it wrong. It is entirely possible to do as meny sidebars as
you want, in all browsers. As it makes no sence, there is very little
example out there.

Is there a cure?

Yes.

div style='width:900px;'
div id="wrapper"

That is nonsence, and you know it. Has nothing to do with problem, might
cure symptoms.

Create a wrapper around all your leftbars and float it left and drop the
float:left and clear:left in leftbar.

Create a wrapper around all your rightbars and float it right and drop
the float:right and clear:right in rightbar.
