The problem is: How to implement it with CSS so that text will not be
under the image. The obvious img{float:left} is not good - client
dont want the text to be displayed under the image.


This solution imitates parts of a table-layout:

div class=container
img ... style=float: left; /* or float: right; */ /
div style=display: table; _height: 0 /* for IE-win */;
h3some heading/h3
psome text/p
pmaybe some more text.../p
/div
/div

Does work in Opera 8, Firefox 1.0, Safari 1.2.4  IE/win. Not sure about
IE/Mac.

You might try using a definition list. 

You can float the different elements, the
image in a dd floated to the right, the headline in a dt, the text in a dd are
floated to the right, give the dl a border, background, margin, etc. 



A variation can be seen here: http://www.csatravelprotection.com/csa-executives-insurance.do

The executive bio images and titles are
sitting in a dl.

tnx Ted
now the last problem is: additional DIV or creating DL.
The first thing i consider a sin.
But what do u think about semantics of the second? Dont u think H2 is better for the headline of the article?
And what about SEO? i think h2 has more weight than dt dt strong? or im wrong?
now the markup is as simple as it can be:
a href=#img src
=./i/trio.jpg alt=trio //
ah2a href=#headline/
a/h2ptext/p
Just thinking how to minimize markup and make SEO-manager happy.
i see that wrapper for the H2 and P is inavitable.
is it?

RE: [WSG] tables to standards problem...

2005-07-01 Thread Drake, Ted C.








I think you could wrap the elements in a
div and it would still be semantic. This is a chunk of information and yes, an
h2 would have more seo power. However, for semantic reasons, I would tend to
use an h3 and save the h2 as the summary of the maincontent section and the h3
as the summary of the news article. 



This is a case of which you feel more
comfortable with. I tend to get giddy with the definition lists.
