If you "prefer", it tells me that you "can".

What I'm saying is that you will have to change the html anyway.
You give advice for something that you assume that is wrong behaviour.
I'm not assuming, it's terrible as it is! You mean to say that it's
intentional?
Yes and some people like it also.

Sure you do. That's why you didn't and presented a garbage page.

I couldn't have cared less about this since you didn't mention it, but I
thought that since you probably "should" change this and it required
markup changes, then you might "prefer" to make all changes at the same
time.
But I don't know how to change it related to the initial problem stated
in the first message of this thread. This problem does not stands on its
own it will arise for everybody using the WYSIWIG editor in the CMS that
inserts a picture through the picture popup and chooses to align it on
the right. After all I didn't ask how to solve it! I want to know why it
happens in order to avoid it in the future. And also didn't ask for a
lecture on best practice. I consider myself quite knowledgable about web
design and web development although you will prob. conclude otherwise.
One of the sources I gained knowledge from was people explaining issues
I questioned about on usenet. Pointing out specific bugs. Telling me
other things and not giving an answer to the initial "why" question is a
waste of time, because everything you told me about floating and
clearing is part of my present knowledge. I feel that I have to explain
every time, to be polite to you, why I considered not to apply it in
this specific case. Main reasons were that it is time consuming to
rewrite an editor (time that can be spend otherwise resulting in either
more pleasure or more gain in terms of money) and that I want to know
(in order to learn from it) why sth. is wrong before fixing it.
If not, then don't. It's all the same to me.

Images usually float to the right in IE when they have the attribute
align set to right (as shown on:
http://dorayme.890m.com/alt/roderik.html), however not in this page.
So it has something to do with the combination of the align attribute
with the context or most likely some style definitions that trigger IE
to change its behaviour when the other major browsers don't.
A page using Transitional doctype and nine stylesheets is not what I
think worthwhile responding about, however, since you seemed to get no
satisfaction, I gave you my solution.
Sorry I can't give you any points for it because it was not a solution
the question stated. Maybe you misinterpret my "much thanks..."
statement. Of course I meant suggestions about what I had written before.
So if you think it is due to the doctype, I will consider changing the
doctype. I usually use strict so that wouldn't be much of a problem.
There may be better. Try Jukka's
since it's the only other one, or wait for another solution to your
liking in this NG or CIWAS.
I will check it from time to time.
On the other hand you seem to know what the
problem is in order to use your preferred deprecated markup. I leave you
and Jukka to discuss further, because I'm out of this thread.
ok
