I hope someone can help me...

I am trying to have images alternately float left, right, left, right...using CSS styles to handle the floating, margins, etc. etc.

Some of the accompanying text for each image has a shorter vertical height than the image itself.

In static HTML, the style solution is to use clear: both, usually done as a div style around a non-breaking character.

I am using a <div class="clearing">&#160;</div> between the left/right image sections.

When the image height is greater than its accompanying text, DNN is putting in a 3-inch vertical area of white space.

Why is this happening, and what can I do about it??

Otherwise the next paragraph flows with the previous one, and this is not what I want....

Thank you, Tom

I am not going to be able to be the one to assist you with this, but it would help others here if you were to post example code.

I found the solution(s) for the problems I had, which are caused by bugginess in how IE in particular handles floats.

Reference article, with many links to additional resources:

This article contains the fix I actually used:
