Thanks for the help, but some more browsing and fiddling meant that I've 
improved the situation using 'clear:both;'. At least it looks ok to me 
now using Opera (in both the normal view and in the print preview)

(I hope it looks ok in IE, I'm on Linux so I can't test that)

I do have a question though... does any of you know a HTML character that
is like a filled space? Or rather, the opposite of a space. There is one
in the extended ASCII character set (n:o 219), but I'm not able to find
the equivalent in HTML :-(

I'd like to use this 'fill' or 'block' character to make the bar become
solid. Right now I'm just using a normal space with the background set to
black, but that doesn't show up properly in all browsers when I print.

I'm thinking of using a <hr> for generating the bar, but it seems neat to 
just use plain characters...
