Hi Miles,
You might need to use a span instead of a div and redefine it to be block
level using display: block. I haven't tested this but as far as I can
remember the HTML spec does not allow block level elements inside an anchor
(<a>) tag.
Cheers,

Please respond to
wsg
Thanks, that achieves the effect I'm after,
but
The reason I wanted to do it was because the image and the text both linked
to the same URL with an <a> tag each (in separate cells of a table). I
wanted to combine them so they were both wrapped in the one <a> tag, but
when the <a> tag is wrapped around both div's clicking the image doesn't
open the URL.
So the solution defeats its own purpose :( Any ideas?

Miles :
Put your text in in a block set its margin-left to x pixels (.eg 170)
should be wider than the image (.eg 160).. The margin will run from
the left of the containing block.
This will work for fixed width images.
Cheers
