Text neben textfeld

[Bastian Schnitzler]

Hallo!
Ich habe in einem div-Element ein span-Element mit Text und ein textarea element, dass aber viel groesser als das div element ist.
Das div element hat die eigenschaft overflow: auto;, das span-element mit Text die eigenschaft float: left;.
Trotzdem kommt das Textfeld erst nach der Text, ich moechte jedoch, dass es daneben steht.

Aufbau ungefaehr so:

TExt<TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEXXXXXXXXXXXFELD>
TExt<TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEXXXXXXXXXXXFELD>
TExt<TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEXXXXXXXXXXXFELD>
TExt<TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEXXXXXXXXXXXFELD>
TExt<TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEXXXXXXXXXXXFELD>

Was muss ich tun?

euer Basti
