Thats a horrible hack... especially the actual placement of the bottom right table needing to be scrupulously placed into the text at a position that makes it look the best. How would you do that dynamically without knowing how much text will be displayed or how big an image might be in the bottom right table? Counting characters is out with non-fixed fonts... not to mention the obvious issues of having another taller column left or right of the main column... You may as well just float a background bottom right and used BR tags to keep text off of it. It doesnt work dynamically either but it wouldnt use tables.... just as bad of an idea. Sorry, but I just assumed you had a sure fire method with tables since you so boldly stated, "I'd use a table" and left it at that. I've always wished (I'm sure I'm not alone) that float had a vertical set to go with the horizontal (like background or background-image does) but without it, I think you have yourself a genuine problem with dynamic data. I thought about using JS to position it and have the text wrap and luckily I found an example without having to write it :-) It uses another image to push the other down. You could make the 'pusher' image a transparent pixel gif easily. http://www.xs4all.nl/~jer03n/sandbox/float-bottom-right.html .... although, it's another method I wouldnt use unless it was ok for the image to float top right when JS is disabled. I'm not sure if thats acceptable in your case but it is 'table-less'. ..:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:. Bobby Hartsfield http://acoderslife.com -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
