aligning text to image

Dear NG-readers,

I want to align text right to an image. The last line of text should
align with the bottom edge of the image. Unfortunately, the results
using my poor CSS knowledge mounted in text which starts at the bottom
line of the image and continues below. For an example go here:
http://tomasio.at/temp/test_valign.html

I want to achieve the following look:
http://tomasio.at/temp/correct.html

Does anybody could give me a hint what I am doing wrong?

kind regards,

Something like this may work?

<div class="indent"> <img src="images/jan_bild.jpg"
style="float: left; margin-right: 10px;" alt="image" height="150"
width="145">
<p style="margin-top: 60px;">this text
should float the image on theleft side, but the last line of text
should end with the bottom line of
the image.</p>
</div>

Thanks a lot, Arne, that is a step towards the solution of the desired

layout. The problem is, as soon as the text is changing in its size,
the alignment is not correct any more. Is there a possibility to keep
the text to the bottom edge of the image no matter what amount of text
I enter?

kind regards,

Doing this "properly" requires browser support for CSS tables (not
supported by IE): http://homepage.ntlworld.ie/spartanicus/temp.htm

If it were me, I would use tables. Of course I use CSS as well, but
for this application, what could be simpler?

<table cellpadding=6>
<tr>
<td>the image</td>
<td valign=bottom>the text</td>
</tr>
</table>

Set width of TDs and Table to taste. Serves a good page.

thx a lot, Spartacus. It's a shame that IE does not render CSS tables,
but at least it displays correctly in Firefox.

In this case it is the most simple approach. Sometimes these tables
are still useful ; )

Thank you for your help.
