Longer amount of text. Longer amount of text. Longer amount of text.</div> <div class="myfloat">Small amount of text.</div> Is there any way to prevent the second div from dropping below the first div when the viewport is narrowed, without specifying widths for either of the floats? What I would like is for the text in the first div to wrap before the second float drops below the first. Is this possible without using widths? Thanks.

One possible solution would be to specify a relative width for the first div and a fixed width for the second div, plus add a min-width to the second one.
