Hi Michelle. The main content drops down because, even though its been
positioned on the left, it occurs later on in document order. So it does look
as though there's a 'too wide to float' problem going on here.
I've taken a quick look at your CSS, and I cannot work out what the need for
the 'narrow container (#inner) + negative margin' is. Can you not just remove
the width and padding on inner, and remove the big negative margin on #left?
When I do this in Firefox, everything displays fine, and I guess it will play
nicer with IE, unless there's a driver for this that I just cannot see.
