    Help needed with text wrapping

    Please check this link - http://projects.zanalysts.com/hearing/work.htm.
    The graphic is part of the page template. How can I get the text to
    wrap around it? The style sheet is at http://projects.zanalysts.com/hearing/css/hearing.css.

    Thank you,
    - Tim

    Your script throws up:

    <%@ Page Language="VB" ContentType="te xt/html" ResponseEncodin g="utf-8" %>

    at the top of the page...I guess you have a error in your ASP script


    To you original question, use "float: right;" not "position: absolute;"

        You appear to have set both float: right and position: absolute. In that
        case position: absolute "wins" and setting float: right does nothing.
        You can't have both properties at once.

        Jonathan is right: the box has to be a float if text is to flow around
        it. That's the only way that's going to happen.

        You will need to make a few other changes to get your layout back the
        way you want it.

          Please! I really need help with this. I replaced the table with CSS
          and removed "position: absolute" so that "float: right" is the only
          one. At this point it doesn't matter what I do, I get the same
          results. I also checked Firefox and get really bizarre results.

            Well you have so many errors and poor markup it is had to know where to
            start.


            <img src="work.aspx_ files/doctor.jpg" align="right" height="344"
            width="225"></div>


            REMOVE the align="right" and your image will float.

            Now I would also dump the XHTML and use HTML

            <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
            "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

            This doctype will be much easier to get IE on board.

            Dump all those <br><brand put your text in proper paragraphs <p>...</p>

            The next time you get an urge to use a <brsmack yourself, you are
            probably making an error.
