In short: <div id="sidebar"> </div> <div id="content"> <div id="content1"> <img src="image.jpg" alt="alt-text"> <p>text</p> </div> <div id="content2"> <p>text</p> </div> </div> Don't just float #sidebar and img, but also #content. If #content (parent of #content1 and #content2) is floated, the clear property on #content2 will not clear #sidebar. Try it. If you have an example of it not working, I'll be happy to have a look at it. -- Els http://locusmeus.com/ http://locusoptimus.com/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
