For one, you aren't including a width - width is required when using
float[1]. My guess would be that the browser is assuming a width of 100%
or something, but who knows?
Depending on what you are doing, you probably don't need to specify
float: right on the second one. In fact, you may be better off using
float: left, but that depends on the desired result.
[1] In most situations, including this one.
