Here is all the code. First view in IE which is how I want to display.
Then view in FireFox. For the life of me I cannot get it to work in
FireFox. I should not have to create seperate CSS's for each browser
so that isnt an option.

I tried your markup in Firefox, Opera and Konqueror and it appears to be
rendering correctly in all three.

I do not have access to IE. If you explain how you expect it to render
(the url of a screenshot might be helpful) then it might be possible to
work out which IE bugs are causing the problem and how to get the effect
you want.

It's possible that it's CSS 2.1 10.3.5, the definition of available
width, that IE is getting wrong here. But this is only a guess, based on
your choice of class names: perhaps you're expecting test_topten_left
and test_topten_right to appear side by side rather than one below the
other?

He omitted a DOCTYPE, so all the quirks mode discrepancies apply.

And is problem is he wants a containing element to expand to accommodate

floated children like IE *incorrectly* does. A question we get here all
the time. Same old answers too. add

..test_topten { overflow: hidden; }

or some clearing element after the floats within .test_topten container.

Thanks all,

Thanks for your thanks and thanks for posting the same question all over
the place and most of all, for not checking all the other places for
responses. You may be able to find your answer there. If I had noticed
your multi-posts, you would not have gotten my response there, or anywhere.

They didn't mention the IE6 bug with the XML prolog. :-\
