Ahh ok sorry. I overlooked the names. SO maybe the person who DID say it can offer an example?
I dont really think this falls under the "to 'CSS' or to 'Table'" debate though. :-) if you can do it in either... id like to see it. -----Original Message----- From: Josh Nathanson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 01, 2006 7:20 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: OT - CSS Float Image Bottom Right corner of DIV I said originally it was a hack, and I wasn't the one who said "I'd use a table", that was Denny. I just provided an admittedly hack method to achieve the desired result given certain circumstances. But, I would use a table anyway. I can't be "stuffed" with css layouts most of the time.
