You can float the image and assign precise margins as Gunlaug has done to get what you need.

[css-d] Positioning images and wrapping text...
I have a site where an image needs to be precisely positioned and the copy wrapped around it. I can use absolute positioning to place it where I want, but since it removes it from the document flow, the wrap doesn't stay with the image.

Precisely can be a problem since hardly anything can be relied upon as precise in something as fluid as a web design. But, yes, you can get the effects _I think_ you're after, if you let go of the html table and rework your graphics (quite) a bit. I've built up a very basic demo - without background graphics - here... http://www.gunlaug.no/tos/alien/mb/test_09_0330.html ...which you can study a bit. My demo may despite its simplistic look be complex enough for someone relatively new to CSS based layouts, so take your time. Things can be rearranged, restyled and get the graphics to meet all requirements I can read out of your existing case and description. If I got it wrong, you'll have to explain what you want a little better. Notice that the offset image moves with font resizing, so it ends up being positioned precisely where it is supposed to be even after resizing. Remember that the fluidity in web design: text-size and other end-user changeable variables, must be taken into account - like I have done, if one wants a design to survive. regards Georg -- http://www.gunlaug.no __ 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/
