I need an answer to how I float text around some given embedded text, not a complete answer to this problem.
So I gave you a tutorial. What more do you want?
Here's a working sample.

Question unaccepted to allow for point distribution
However it seems your css does not work in IE7 (at least not when testing IE8 in IE7 mode)
Like I said, a lot has changed since 2004. If you are going to add hacks to allow for older browsers, at least start with code that meets the modern standards.
Sure - which is why I reopened the question - however some hack must be needed since I know of many corporations where IE6 is STILL the default browser :(
I was ok with the conclusion to the question, I just wanted to point out to @JCW2 how old that article was, but thanks for thinking of me. I gave the asker a modern alternative and hopefully it's being used. I've got my quota of points for the month and you do to so it's more about giving the best advice to try to help out. Agreed? Once you have enough points to maintain your membership, any additional points you get are as useless as the ones you get for playing a video game.
@JCW2, do you have anything to say?
