FYI: content dropping by floats

Sent by Bruce on 13 August 2004 17:05


Ah, a flash of light with a few simple words - 'an image is inline'. 
That clears up the entire question. Learning CSS is a full-time 
experience, and I am at it for only a couple of months - but out of a 
lifetime starting with machine language and Assembler [and the ENIAC], 
so I want to know why what happens happens. I think I will stay with the 
'image in div' - it is more markup but the relationship of the numbers 
to the items is to my mind simpler.

By the way,  in IE6 pretty much all of these layouts are a wilderness, 
but I presume that it is NT that is 'correct' and poor old MS is in the 
swamp.
