The image in http://home.no.net/ldah/b/20030624_1 is supposed to be to the right
og the first paragraph, but is at the absolute bottom of the page. It seems like
all the Mozilla 1.4 browsers acts like this - it doesn't happen with earlier
versions.

Reproducible: Always

2.
3.

Actual Results:  
See details

Expected Results:  
See any other browser. The code is controlled by several HTML/CSS experts.

This is correct.  Per CSS 2.1:
"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."
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visuren.html#propdef-float

Thus this item must be below the left side menu, which is also floated.

This was just recently fixed in Mozilla, so older versions would not display
this way.  See bug 196919.
