Re: Wrapping paragraphs around blocks

I had time to look at the HTML and that seems like your spacer idea is 
currently the best solution for me. A margin fixed the IE problem, and I 
don't even need a margin when I use the list that I want to use.

It is a hack because there's an extra pixel of "margin" on the top right, 
unless I go through the trouble to put an extra pixel along the entire right 
side, so I still think there should be a neater way.

The only spacer I'd tried was padding and the position property. I'm still 
not sure if position should work, but I know it doesn't.

I had the wrong idea about floating. I was thinking that the paragraphs to 
the left of a right floated block behaved the same a if they were floated to 
the left. I THINK I was wrong about that. Now it appears that nothing gets 
floated to the right of something else (since that something else could wrap 
UNDER it). When you float to the right, you're floating to the right side of 
the container.

I hope CSS evolves into a free and accurate WYSIWYG editor some day. At some 
point they'll be enough CSS and you guys will need something else to do 
anyway.
