This does not meet my definition of "flow around". When inline elements "flow around" another element, they leave space for it when it is present and fill that space when the other element is absent. I'm trying to get block elements to "flow around" in the same manner (modulo the detail that block elements must have the same width over their entire height). Using the numbers from your example, the blockquote should have a right margin of 210px if and only if any portion of it is beside the image and a right margin of 10px if it is not beside the image. e.g. (b = blockquote, t = non-blockquote text, i = image): tttttttttttttt iii bbbbbbbbbbbb iii bbbbbbbbbbbb bbbbbbbbbbbb ttttttttttttttttttt tttttttttttttt bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb -- Dave Sherohman ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
