  • 0

probably very simple but i cannot see it. in IE8 the text flows around the image which is floted to the right. in IE7 this text seems to be pushed under the image. have tried various combinations of margin and padding, width and height, but still the same. what am i missing here?

also, where is the best site for browser compatibility in relation to css among IE browsers?

many thanks

    CSS

    .bodyText    {
        width: 700px;
        font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
        font-size: 12px;
        color: #000;
        font-weight: normal;
        padding: 10px 20px 0 20px;
        line-height: 22px;
        text-align:justify;
        clear:left;
    }
    .bodyText h1 {
    
        float:left;
        font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
        font-size: 22px;
        color: #666;
        font-weight: normal;
        clear:right;
        }
    
    .bodyText img    {
    
        float:right;
        }
    

    HTML

    <div class="bodyText">
    
       <h1>WEB DESIGN</h1>
    
    
         <img src="images/satisfaction.png" alt="Guarantee" width="100px" height="100px" />
        <div style="clear:both"></div>
    
    </div>
    

    This is working…. Remove clear both from img also that call is not right . Use .bodyText img
