The point is that the paragraph can not wrap above the table if the table tag precedes the paragraph. > I almost always use > > <IMG><P> > > seldom ever: > > <P><IMG> Do you have some specific reason for this? IMG is an inline element and as such can appear anywhere, even in the middle <IMG SRC="someimage.png"> of a line or the end of a paragraph. So by not enclosing IMG in another element, you automatically include it in a preceding unclosed element, such as a paragraph. If an author (not you, obviously) wants an image to appear flush right following a specific word<IMG SRC="img_on_the_right.png" ALIGN=right> in a paragraph, that's doable. The same option is needed for a table, which in many ways is more akin to an image than a paragraph. In real life it's doable with both NSN and MSIE, yet it is proscribed by the HTML spec.
