Float not working in Firefox.

Hello,

This is the css:
HTML and CSS Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. ul
  2. {
  3. float: left; 			/*Het plaatje van de persoon*/
  4. position: fixed;
  5. margin-left: 20px;
  6. margin-top: 2px;
  7. }
  8.  
  9. li
  10. {
  11. float: top;
  12. postion: fixed;
  13. margin left: 20px;
  14. margin-top: 5px;
  15. list-style: none;
  16. }
  17.  
  18. p
  19. {
  20. margin left: 5px;
  21. }
  22.  
  23. body
  24. {
  25. background-color: #66FF66;
  26. }

And the HTML:
HTML and CSS Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. <html>
  2. <head>
  3. <title>Ding</title>
  4. <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://opacity.atspace.com/style2.css">
  5. </head>
  6. <body>
  7.  
  8. <li>
  9. <img src="http://www.carmelemmen.nl/img/logoCarmelEmmen.gif" width="200" heigth="150" >
  10. <img src="http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/images17/NorthernInuitDogFreya14wks.JPG" width="200" heigth="150" >
  11. <img src="http://www.shoarns.com/Unknown%20bird%20-%20Cincinnatti%20Zoo%20-%20D%20Byrd.jpg" width="200" 
  12.  
  13. heigth="150" >
  14. </li>
  15.  
  16. <ul>
  17. <img src="http://www.zefhemel.com/upload/2008/02/funny-cat.jpg" width="200" heigth="150">
  18. </ul>
  19. <p>
  20. Text
  21. Text
  22. </p>
  23. </body>
  24. </html>

The <u>l items are supposed to float left, and the <li> items are supposed to float to the top, with text in the middle.

In Internet Explorer, this way I can achieve this result, in Firefox I can't. Even though in the CSS file I put the
HTML and CSS Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. float: left;
in the ul, the text will be on the left, and not the image.

What would be the way to fix this?

If you have another suggestion to make some images float left and the others up, it is very welcome.

Thank you.

There is no float :top; property
float takes left right none
Failure is not an option It's included free, you don't have to do anything to get it

Of course its always in the last place you look, you dont keep looking after you find it

The li tag is not allowed to be alone. It must be directly inside a ul or ol pair.

Its also very bad form, to get your images from someone elses servers.

The normal way to control where things are on the page is to control the order the items are listed in the html file. Objects are placed from top to bottom, and within a line, from left to right.

Do NOT think of a web page as a sheet of paper that you place things on in various places. Think of it as a scroll that grows longer downward as you add more content.

Okay well I modified the design. I've got a new problem with the float property now: I want to make an image float to the left, with a box with text in in on the right. In IE this works fine, Firefox however insists on placing the banaan.jpg over the box. Is this fixable?

CSS:
HTML and CSS Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. div.box /* Zorgt voor het textvak in het midden. Zoek naar div bij w3schools. */
  2. {
  3. color: green;
  4. margin: 5px;
  5. border: 1px solid black;
  6. width: 400px;
  7. height: 510px; 
  8. float: none;
  9. }
  10.  
  11. body
  12. {
  13. background-color: #FFFFFF;
  14. }
  15.  
  16. img.onder
  17. {
  18. margin: 5px,5px,5px,5px;
  19. float: left;
  20. }
  21.  
  22.  
  23. p.text
  24. {
  25. margin: 5px;
  26. }

The HTML code:
HTML and CSS Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. <html>
  2. <head>
  3. <title>Ding</title>
  4. <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style2.css">
  5. </head>
  6. <body>
  7.  
  8. <img class="onder" src="banaan.jpg">
  9.  
  10. <div class="box">
  11. <p class="text">
  12. Hier komt de tekst.
  13. </p>
  14. </div>
  15.  
  16.  
  17. </body>
  18. </html>

Thank you.

I don't see any elements with a float: right; in your stylesheet.
If I have been helpful add to my reputation!

The text shouldn't be on the right of the page, it should be on the right of the image.
