Rule 5 only mentions the outer top edge. | The outer top of a floating box may not be higher than the | outer top of any block or floated box generated by an element | earlier in the source document. There is nothing about the top edge of a float being lower than the bottom edge of a float that is earlier in the source. The only rule that mentions something like this is in rule 2 but that doesn't apply with interaction between left floats and right floats. -- Alan http://css-class.com/ Armies Cannot Stop An Idea Whose Time Has Come. - Victor Hugo
