Below is the visual framework for a practice slide show I am tutoring my self with. In webkit browsers and Firefox I get the controls to line up correctly, but on IE8 the far right control drops out and goes lower than I would expect.I have attached the code and some images in hopes that some one can suggest what I am doing incorrectly.Thanks!

First of all, get rid of everything in front of the doctype and everything after the </html> tag.

 

Your div markup is

<div id="arrowLeft"></div>
<div id="descriptionBox"> </div>
<div id="arrowRight"></div>

where the description box is betaween a float: left and a float: right but hasn't got a float for itself. Try adding float: left to #descriptionBox.

 

Alternatively if a div hasn't got a float and you want it to move up between two floated divs, then the unfloated div should be last so that the floated divs go to their positions and the unfloated div moves up into the space

<div id="arrowLeft"></div>
<div id="arrowRight"></div>
<div id="descriptionBox"> </div>
