Why is a break forming between my twitter and facebook buttons?

Question

My website is up at http://www.avidest.com/. I have placed a facebook like button and a twitter follow button next to each other. For some reason, the FB button is appearing below the twitter button as opposed to next to it. I cannot figure out why. I have placed a border around headertext to make it easier for you all to see it. Here is my css:

.header {background:url(images/blackwhite10202.png); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: center top; padding:0; margin:0 auto; width: 100%; }
.headertop{width: 100%;  background: transparent; height: 30px; min-width: 1020px;  padding-left: 50px; margin: 0 auto;}/*background: #d3e5e8;*/
.topholder1 { background: transparent; margin:0 auto; padding:0; }
.topholder1 .topholder2 { margin: 0 auto; width:1070px;  
.header_text { width:200px; float:right; font:normal 11px Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; color:#9a9a9a; padding:6px 450px 10px 200px; margin:0; margin-right: 0px; border: 1px solid black;}

And here is the html:

<div class="header">
<div class="headertop">
  <div class="topholder1"> 
    <div class="topholder2">
        <img src="images/avidestlogo50perresave.png"  border="0" alt="logo" />
        <div class="header_text">

           Twitter button is here
           FB Button is here
       </div>
    </div>
  </div>

How do I make the two buttons appear side by side? Thanks.

Answer 1

the width of .header_text is only 200px, but the fb widget is 450px wide. and you have to add float:left to the twitter widget.
