Re: IE6 overflow problem

hello

I have this structure

p

some text here

p is styled with a background and border and overflow: auto. img is
styled with float:left

on the civilized browsers, this works as I hope. p wraps around
either img or text, whichever is greater in height. In IE6,
however, p only wraps around the text. If the text is shorter than
the img, the img is left hanging outside of p.

I also tried with a div but it made no difference.

Put the image outside the <p>. (And don't bother with XHTML, IE
doesn't understand it and treats it as HTML.)
