There is no reason this should be difficult to achieve. Back in the way day you could just create a table and put the image on the first cell and the text on the second. Easy as pie.
For some reason I am having a hell of a time getting this to work with css, and I know css pretty fluently. I’m sure I’m just overlooking a hopefully easy answer.
What I’m looking to achieve:
- Dynamic sized (being pulled from database) image floated to the left – Description text to the right with out wrapping below image when it reaches the image height.
What won’t work:
- Setting a margin-left on the text (width of image is not consistent)
- Setting a width / floating right on text (again, image width is dynamic so proper width on text would be unknown)
Example Code (pre css):
<div class="demo">
<img src="dynamic_sized_image.jpg" />

Hopefully there is an answer!!
