Unfortunately for you, there is no way to do what you want. The auto
width of the floated div (image_and_caption) will always depend on
both the width of the image and the amount of text in the caption.
You'll have to think about another construction, one that will need a
set width on that div (or alternatively, keep all you captions short).
Just out of my sleeve:
.image_and_caption {
float:right;
width:220px;
border: 1px solid lime;
text-align:center;
margin: 0 -2% 1em 1em;
display:inline; /* for iExploder6 */
clear:right
}
