Opera 6 (on PC, at least) needs explicit widths to be set for floated
adjacent images which you require to wrap automatically. If the width is
not set, the images don't wrap, resulting in a monster horizontal scroll. I
solved this for the common modern browsers by using PHP functions to find
and set each image width inline from my PHP template. Luckily, I could
afford to ignore NN4, which appeared to break on whatever I tried in this
regard :-(
