make text flow around other text ?



This text starts +---------------+
on the left but | |
then when the box | some boxed |
ends we see that | text |
the text on the | |
left is allowed +---------------+
to flow across all the way to the
right margin. What HTML tags convey
that this flowing should occur ?

Note: The boxed text is preferrably
as text and not as an image.

Thanks. er*******@rcn.c om

A simple Tables Layout can accomplish that!

Not sure if you are being sarcastic or not, but I can't see any way of
making a table layout do that.

OR try some common sense markup. A div or p element floated right,
with a width set to the author's desire. A bit simpler then the mess
you have.

I tried it. Doesn't seem to work: http://porjes.haxorz.org/unboxed.html

Have I miscopied your code? IE6 and Opera overlay some of the text.
It's better (but not boxed) in Mozilla.

Just tried this as well. Doesn't seem to work. Have I done something
wrong?

I tried to copy both of your examples:

http://porjes.haxorz.org/unboxed.html

It does different things in different browsers, which one is it supposed
to work in?

You need to add a width to the boxed data table:

<table><tr><t d align="left"><t able width="200" align="right">< tr><td
width="200">put your boxed text here</td></tr></table>put all your main
text here</td></tr></table>

Hi, This is in connection to the tread: Re: changing browser text settings?? I am wondering if there is a way to retrieve the browsers text size (not change! ;-) ) so that I can dynamically resize the size and position of the layers to accomodate larger than normal text-size settings. I really hope there is because it would mean not re-writing the whole page (which I'm not sure how to go about). the page is here:

I noticed an irritating behaviour of the text-indent property and I wonder if I'm the only one to feel this way about it: it seems that text-indent applies even to floated elements. Although this is probably correct according to the specification (text-indent is inherited), don't you think it makes no sense to apply text-indent to such elements ? Here is an example: I have a paragraph, starting with a clickable image, that's followed by...
