    so i’m trying to position three containers to fit snugly into an 800x175px header. one large one on the left, and two smaller – one on top of the other – on the right. The code below works for Safari but not for explorer (at least not 5.5)

    .container
    {
    background-color: #FFFFFF;
    width: 800px;
    height:700px;
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
    }

    .logo
    {
    float:left;
    background-color: #008D00;
    width: 550px;
    height: 175px;
    }

    .flash
    {
    float:left;
    background-color:#FFCC33;
    width:250px;
    height:117px;
    }

    .espanol
    {
    float:left;
    background-color:#FFCC66;
    width: 250px;
    height: 58px;
    }

    it seems like it should work, but the “espanol” div breaks out below the logo div in IE 5.5.

    any help would be greatly appreciated,

    thanks,

    < body >
    < div class="container" >
    < div class="logo">< /div >
    < div class="flash">< /div >
    < div class="espanol" >< /div >
    < /div >
    < /body >

    ???? works fine on explorer 5.5 PC . could be an issue with the MAC version ?

    maybe try adding { border:0px;margin:0px;padding:0px; } to each div container.
    One of these could be forcing the div down ?
