CSS float not working in opera 7

[Mikael]

Hi
I have a page at school where I use float: left and right. everything works great in ie 6.0, but it does not work at all in opera. height100% is ignored, width is wrong and there are margins, even though margin: 0 is set. a friend told me this was also the case with mozilla firebird, but I have not tested that.
the site is www.stud.ntnu.no/~mikaelan

IE doesn't get floats right, so actually it looks wrong in IE.

Search for some [url="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&q=float+tutorial&btnG=Google+Search"]float tutorials[/url:apejv466gh] using Google.

but the code is valid according to the w3c validator, and looks ok in ie...

IE does not support all the standards, nor does it correctly support some of what it actually supports. IE is wrong on floats, even though it looks as you want it to.
The validator doesn't tell you if your layout is correct, nor if some browser understands - or in this case, misunderstands - it. It only tells you that the used CSS is valid.
