but the main
problem is that you are trying to float two things two the left, which
means that one will come after the other vertically.

No it does not mean that. Two adjacent elements floated to the left will
show up side by side if there is room for them. The code described works
perfectly in IE. It also works in Netscape if the width parameter for the
second panel is set to some value less than the body width minus the width
of the first panel.
