Sorry, but you would have to use 'br' or a list. Pre wrapped text does not break, that's how it behaves. Ok thats fine, I've just used some php to add the 'br's in automatically. But does anyone have any idea how to put that alongside the title and image etc without using a table? or should i just use a table?

The simplest way would be to wrap the bits you want to have on the left (title, pic, price, etc) in some sort of containing element such as a div and float it left. I'd suggest floating your green paragraph to the right, but that would require it to come first in the source I believe, and that's probably not a good idea. If nothing else, it will realy confuse people who don't get the benefit of CSS (older browsers, text browser, screen readers, etc) to see the details before the title! ;) Cheers, Seona.

Hi Jack, There shouldnt be any need for a table here. just mark your list up as a list and float your image to one side. something like this: http://c41.com.au/test/delphinus_example/index.html (css in the head so just view source) hoping thats what you meant :) pete ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **

I'm not sure why you feel you need to use overflow:auto... Wrap them in a div, yes, and then give it a width based on one of two factors: 1) If the image will always be the same width and you want the details to sit fairly close beside them, make the div a little wider than the image (eg: if the image is 100px, make the div 120px). 2) Give the div a width of, say 50% or some other percentage - that way it will always occupy a relative amount of space regardless of the width of the content block and the details will all line up neatly in the other half of the page. All you need to do then is use some sort of clearing element ( I tend to favour PIE's Easy Clearing method [1]) under the details to make content below respect the height of the floated bits.

[WSG] tableless layout stuff
Hi Everyone,
Few questions:
http://temp.delphinus.co.nz/newsite/shop/shop.php?product=accessories
I'm using white-space: pre; so dont have to br every line in the green
description stuff... but if the window is resized it doesn't wrap AT
ALL... is there a better way to do this?
And is there a way to put the green text up at the same height, and to
the right of the title and image please?
So we have:
Title
Pic{description}
price
etc
Many Thanks,
Jack
