<xsl:choose> <xsl:when> problem

To anyone who could answer this question,
although David I suspect you may be able to answer this one for me.

My problem is that I'm creating a document that is capturing metadata and
placing it 
in front of the text, but when I use the xsl:choose/when xsl elements, it
places the
text on the next line from the metadata when I want them to be in the same
line.
Why is it doing this?  I don't understand, I've also been looking at this
code for 
two solid days, and maybe I should tackle something else and come back to
it.

Any help woudl be appreciated.  
Thanks

Eddy


Here is a part of my xsl:

Whole bunch of xsl ommited.....

<xsl:template match="text">
	<xsl:choose>
		<xsl:when test="contains (@align,'right')">
			<SPAN style="
			width=100%;
			 font-weight: bold;
			font-size: medium">
			 (<xsl:value-of select="//para/@secur.classif"/>)
				<SPAN style="
				font-size:small;
				font-weight:normal;
				margin-left:3pc;
				margin-right:3pc">
				<xsl:value-of select="."/>
				<xsl:apply-templates />
					<SPAN style="
				 	font-size: 10pt;
				 	font-style: normal;
				 	font-weight: bold;
				 	horizontal-align: left;
				 	margin-left: 50%;
				 	width: 300;
				 	height: 100">

						<IMG >
						<xsl:attribute name="SRC" >
						<xsl:value-of
select="@reference"/>
						</xsl:attribute>
						</IMG>
					<xsl:value-of select="illust"/>
					</SPAN>
				</SPAN>
			</SPAN>
	            </xsl:when>

		<xsl:otherwise>
			<SPAN style="
				width=100%;
				 font-weight: bold;
				font-size: medium">
				 (<xsl:value-of
select="//para/@secur.classif"/>)
			</SPAN>
		<xsl:value-of select="."/>
		<xsl:apply-templates />
		</xsl:otherwise>
	</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

Whole bunch more of xsl ommited.....

P.S. I've moved the width, changed the width, placed the value-of  and
apply-templates
inside the SPAN's outside.  Everytime I think I have the answer, I realize
that I don't
