Ok so like what the sam hell is the trick here to get a division to
float where I want it to?
When I display it in FF, "name" and "label" appear on two seperate
lines.with a float:left for "label".

Using the same example dorayme gave, it worked just fine.
I go to add in other css elements and it won't float. No how no way.
So what am I not doing right?

FF behaves differently to some other browsers in regard to floats. You
might find it useful to read at least page 5 of a thing on floats:

<http://netweaver.com.au/floatHouse/page5.html>

and see the remarks at the bottom and follow links to the appendices and
follow further links there to screen shots on this matter.

I know, it is a bit of a bore, but it might get you clear on it a bit?
