Could you attach an image(sketch) as how the layout should be. I could give a try.

the third (bottom) example largely achieves what I want, but having to use a "div" seems to be overkill. Perhaps we need some variants on [[<<]] which is break clear:both, in the standard markup, eg [[_<]] and [[<_]], thanks, Simon

Your proposed markup could help in some layouts, I guess complex layouts now can be done in html5. VKrishn August 24, 2010, at 02:54 AM

Thanks. I don't consider this to be complex at all, this is basic CSS. There is something missing in the way >><< and %css% work IMHO. I should not have to hard code image widths. simon August 25, 2010, at 05:31 AM

yes it can become difficult..
