Dave, Can you put up a sample page so I can see the situation? I think you are running into an IE bug, but I am not sure yet.

The way the page is set up is that there's text in the middle with one image on floating on the left and one floating on the right, both of which are supposed to push outside of the text column. Here's one image that's supposed to float left: div.insertLeft { position: relative; display: inline; float: left; width: 160px; left: -25px; } This one is supposed to float right: div.insertRight { position: relative; display: inline; float: right; width: 120px; } It looks simply beautiful in Firefox and was the reason I did the "I love CSS" post the other day. However, today I viewed it in IE and the positioning is all off - the left image is positioned correctly but the text flows 25px away from it instead of the 5px it should, and the right image just floats right against the border as if I didn't have the "width" attribute in the stylesheet at all. Aside: /me thinks he's hit upon box model differences. Any suggestions on how to do what I want to do? I'll try css-discuss tomorrow if nobody has any ideas.
