asked on position image and text using css
Hi
I have the following code that apart from the CSS cannot be changed (the download div is created by a CMS system) and I want to get the download type images in the grey boxes but they keep going behind.
Also I would like the boxes to be the same height so if one took up 2-3 lines the other would also match.
This is what I would like it to look like:

no, image needs to go in the darker box on the left of each text
like this:![downloads]()
like this:
NeilT looking at the code would you not split the image and the text into two different divs instead of the one?
For example:
If done this way the image should (if the css is correct) have a darker background. Hope this helps
For example:
<div id="container">
<div class="item">
<div class="image"><img src="" /></div><div class="title">Catering...</div>
</div>
</div>
If done this way the image should (if the css is correct) have a darker background. Hope this helps

the html code cannot be changed, only the css can unfortunately as the code is output from a part of the cms we do not have access to (we can overwride the CSS though
