Just a follow-up on this thread. My goal was to replicate a
brochure form onto the web and make it as close to the
original as possible. The form was divided into sections
with each section having a left hand title that ran up the
'spine'. I solved the problem by using this with each
sections div:
#information {
	background-image: url(form-information.gif);
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
	padding-left: 70px;
	border-bottom: 2px solid #00a4ce;
}
The image was set as a one shot background with a padding a
bit wider than the image. I also added a bar across the
bottom to divide between the sections. Once the form goes
live I'll post the url to it. 

The main problem I had was that I had to use 2 or more divs
per section with at least one floating left. If the left
floating div was longer then the non-floating div, its
content would just overlap the next section. I had to add
extra line breaks to make sure the non-float section was as
long or longer than the float. Is there a better solution?
Thanks
