RE: Re: tables won't float

Thanks for the responses Helder and William

Explicitly setting "clear:none" didn’t seem to make a difference but setting
the table to float left moved it up to the right of the image as required. I
don’t think this should be necessary but at least it works.

Phil,

 

In case this response was not what you were looking for, I tried 

 

<table border=2 style="float: left;"> 
<tr><td>Left table 1</td></tr> 
</table>

Maybe the default value for clear property [1] isn't coherent among


implementations...? Try forcing it to a value (apparently


"clear:none"


if you'd expect the table displayed right). But hey, I'm just guessing


- this may be due to multiple things such as small font alignment


differences etc. - it will all depend on your current page content,


unless you are experimenting with a very simple example (just a table


and an image, for instance).


  


  


Hope
 this helps,
