Hi, what's wrong with this code?

The background disappears behind the divs when I add float: left to #text and #text2. But when I remove the float: left, everything looks good.

<div id = "first">
   <div id = "left_b">
      <div id = "right_b"> 
         <div id = "text">text 1</div>
         <div id = "text2">text 2</div>
      </div>
