Geoffrey, I have triple-checked http://www.gtalbot.org/BrowserBugsSection/css21testsuite/c414-flt-ln-002-draft.htm and I have also created http://www.gtalbot.org/BrowserBugsSection/css21testsuite/section9.5.1-vertical-positioning-float.html and appended screenshots of what I see/get under Opera 10.62 (build 3500) under Windows XP. I also started a thread on www-style mailing list: [CSS 2.1] [Section 9.5.1] Vertical positioning of floating boxes http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2010Sep/0351.html I believe there are some problems under Opera 10.62 (build 3500) under Windows XP (but not under Linux Kubuntu) which affects the horizontal or vertical positioning of floats. Such problem, which has been corroborated by another poster in www-style, may have caused you to say "I've almost never seen them actually all get rendered on the same line". As far as I'm concerned, http://www.gtalbot.org/BrowserBugsSection/css21testsuite/c414-flt-ln-002-draft.htm is correct and only needs text tweaking/better wording of expected results. I want to create and I will create a testcase very close or identical to http://www.gtalbot.org/BrowserBugsSection/css21testsuite/section9.5.1-vertical-positioning-float.html because it would come from the spec itself and would therefore be a very reliable, welcomed and trustworthy inclusing into the test suite. regards, Gérard +CC: Morten Stenshorne, Řyvind Stenhaug -- Contributions to the CSS 2.1 test suite: http://www.gtalbot.org/BrowserBugsSection/css21testsuite/ CSS 2.1 test suite (beta 3; August 15th 2010): http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20100815/html4/toc.html CSS 2.1 test suite contributors: http://test.csswg.org/source/contributors/
