I know there are a few questions about similar topics but they mostly amount to floating the div/image. I need to have the image (and div) positioned absolutely (off to the right) but I simply want the text flow around it. It works if I float the div but then I can't position it where I want. As it is the text just flows behind the picture.
<div class="post">
<div class="picture">
<a href="/user/1" title="View user profile."><img src="http://www.neatktp.com/sites/default/files/photos/BlankPortrait.jpg" alt="neatktp's picture" title="neatktp's picture" /></a></div>
<span class='print-link'></span><p>BlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlah.</p>
<p>BlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlah.</p>
</div>
Is an example of the HTML
With the CSS being:
.picture img {
background: #fff;
border: 1px #ddd solid;
padding: 2px;
float: right;
}
.post .picture {
display: block;
height: auto;
position: absolute;
right: -10px;
top: -10px;
width: auto;
}
.post {
border: 1px solid #FFF;
border-bottom: 1px solid #e8ebec;
padding: 37px 22px 11px;
position: relative;
z-index: 4;
}
It's a Drupal theme so none of this code is mine, it's just that it's not fully working when it comes to putting a picture there.
I know this is an older question but I came across it looking to do what I believe you were trying to. I've made a solution using the :before CSS selector, so it's not great with ie6-7 but everywhere else you should be good.
Basically, putting my image in a div I can then add a long thing float block before hand to bump it down and the text wraps merrily around it!
img {
float:right;
clear:both;
width: 50% ;
margin: 30px -50px 10px 10px ;
}
.rightimage:before {
content: '' ;
display:block;
float: right;
height: 200px;
}
