Hi I'm having a little trouble getting IE6/7 to do what I want.
I have a (container) div which contains an image and another div with text in. The code for this is below.I then use CSS to float the (container) div to the right. This is done using the code belowCode:<div class="figure"><img src="/img.php?src=trialsexample.jpg" alt="Trials unicyclist" /><div>Figure 1: a unicyclist jumping a gap on a trials course</div></div> <p>Trials unicycling is a type of unicycling that focuses on trying to overcome various natural or urban obstacles without falling off or putting a foot or hand down. The sport derives from bike trials although competitions are performed differently. Unicycle trials competition lines allow..</p>In Firefox 3, this renders as I want with the text in the <p> wrapping round the text around the floated container.Code:.figure { clear: right; float: right; margin: 5px 5px 5px 5px; } .figure img {display:block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;} .figure div { font-size:0.9em; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; display: block; text-align:center; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width:20em; }
The page can be seen here => http://www.unicycle.org.uk/uuu/trials/about
In IE6/7 this doesn't work at all. For some reason the (container) div has 100% width of its parent container. I don't want to declare a width for the (container) div because I want it to resize depending on the image inside it.
I've found even if I declare a width for the (container) div the text in the <p> does not go in the right place and it get's pushed underneath the floated (container) div.
Does anyone know how I can fix this to work in IE6/7?
