Actually, it's not floating. You've told it to float left, but you've
also told it to position absolutely. It can't do both, so position:
absolute takes precedence. You might achieve more reliable
cross-browser results if you use "top" and "left" values to position it
rather than a negative top margin.

Actually, changing the text size makes no difference, because your text
is set in pixels and cannot be resized in IE (maybe you've changed the
page since you first posted?). So I can't actually see your problem.
