I just had a question about aligning two expand-collapse boxes and got an answer and it worked but not I have run into another problem.

When I expand, my boxes the text underneath it (the main content) is not pushed down but more “nudged to the right”.

The problem is clear in this code beneath:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>

<!-- Panel Slider for Contact -->
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

 <!-- Expand Collapse -->
    <script type="text/javascript">$(function(){
$("#mostrar1").click(function(event) {event.preventDefault();
                $("#caja1").slideToggle();
                });

$("#caja1 a").click(function(event) {event.preventDefault();
                $("#caja1").slideUp();
                });
$("#mostrar2").click(function(event) {event.preventDefault();
                $("#caja2").slideToggle();
                });

$("#caja2 a").click(function(event) {event.preventDefault();
                $("#caja2").slideUp();
                });
}); </script>

<style type="text/css">
.wrapper {
    width:  30%;
    float: left;
}
            #caja1 {
            display: none;
            padding:5px;
            border:2px solid #FFFFFF;
            background-color:#99a8ff;
            }

            #mostrar1{
            display:block;
            padding:5px;
            border:2px solid #FFFFFF;
            background-color:#0C415F;
            color: #FFFFFF;
            }

            #caja2 {
            display: none;
            padding:5px;
            border:2px solid #FFFFFF;
            background-color:#99a8ff;
            }

            #mostrar2{
            display:block;
            padding:5px;
            border:2px solid #FFFFFF;
            background-color:#0C415F;
            color: #FFFFFF;
            }

</style>
</head>

<body>

<div class="wrapper">
<a href="#" id="mostrar1">Private</a><div style="display: none;" id="caja1"><a href="#" class="close">[x]</a><p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua.

<div class="wrapper">
<a href="#" id="mostrar2">Erhverv</a><div style="display: none;" id="caja2"><a href="#" class="close">[x]</a><p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua.

<p>THIS IS MY CONTENT TEXT UNDER THE EXPAND COLLAPSE BOXSES: <br>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua.

</html>

Does anyone knows how to “explain” my expand boxes to push down and down the text beneath?

Thanks

    Add clear: left to the main content, like so:

    CSS

    #content {
    clear: left;
}

    HTML

    <div id="content">
  <p>
  THIS IS MY CONTENT TEXT UNDER THE EXPAND COLLAPSE BOXES:
  ...
  </p>
</div>
