Guys this is freaking me out - im starting to wonder if ive gone completely bonkers and am doing something really stupid…
this is my HTML
```auto
test
```
now youd think that the “leftPanel” div, with its height and width set, and a float: left set, would make all the following divs float next to it…which it does in IE…but in Ffox 2 it brings the divs up but ignores the width of the leftpanel div…
Please help me understand this! Whats going on?!?!?
Is it an FFox2 glitch? :huh:
