Sorry, originally posted this from my mobile and there's no 'reply all', so this didn't make it back to the list
the way the css is defined, #left and #right would need to be nested inside a div, that's nested inside the 'header-bottom' class, but that's not how it's marked up. try simply #left { width: 190px; float: left; } #right { width: 560px; float: right; } this would work too .header-bottom #left { width: 190px; float: left; } .header-bottom #right { width: 560px; float: right; } IMO there's no need because these are ID's, and they won't (or shouldn't) be found more than once in the markup.
