I would like, for design reasons, to float an image

Although I don't have an immediate solution for
your exact problem, I can point to a solution to
a similar problem that might lead you in the
right direction. This particular implementation
requires that you know in advance the distance
from the top of the container to the top of the
image, so you'd have to modify it significantly
for your purposes. You could express that
distance in ems but the vagaries of wrap-around
would ultimately defeat that in extended text-zoom.
The Wiñay Taki Ayllu website
http://winaytaki.org/ (under development)
contains bilingual text in two columns, with
images floated centered between them at various
distances down the page. The specifics of this
complete "floated centered" technique go beyond
your question, but here's the core idea for a stand-alone column:
Pairs of objects are floated right: first a
one-pixel-wide div and then an image:
______________________
<div class="descent"></div>
<div class="image-frame"><img src="example.jpg" alt="example" /></div>
<p>Text begins here...</p>
______________________
div.descent
{
clear: right;
float: right;
width: 1px;
height: 200px;
}
div.image-frame
{
clear: right;
float: right;
}
______________________
The descender pushes the image down the desired
distance without appearing to occupy noticeable room in the flow.
I hope this gives you some food for thought as you chew this one over...

Paul
