While I don't see the problem you are talking about, I did notice that your text is mis-formated. <p> tags should surround individual paragraphs, and you shouldn't need <br> tags for the most part.

Thanks in this particluar case I just got to a fix which was other images way down the page I hadnt even spotted ! but yes thanks for that is p better than br generally ?

does a p wrap the text if it gets to the end of the container ?

Paragraph tags wrap paragraphs. A <p> at the beginning of the paragraph and a </p> at the end. It doesn't really matter where the paragraph is located in it's contining element.

The only time I can recall using <br /> tags recently is to split up lines of an address.

<P> defines a paragraph of text. sentances ina aparagrapgh relate to other sentances.

sentences on separate lines (<br>) have no intrinsic semantic relationship to each other.

<br /> has no semantic meaning, and makes it harder to drill down to certain chunks of text content.

almost all tags wrap by default, p included. use the css white-space property to over-ride defaults.
