You need to clear the floats:

<div class="mainoddcontent2">
	<span class="leftpanel3">Left Field 1</span>
	<span class="rightpanel3"><p class="field">Right Field 1</p></span>
	<div style="clear:both"></div>
</div>

Also, p (block element) is not allowed within a inline element

Not a Mozilla bug --> INVALID
