Kelly, Derek and others, I'm sorry about the delay responding to this (the display died on my laptop -- which is more bad news than I quite know how to deal with but not salient here). The problem with the solutions mentioned by Derek and Kelly is that they treat the image as an "inline" graphic. While they center one line with the graphic when the text overflows to a second line that line appears below the graphic. what I want is for the text to flow such that it is always to the left of the graphic and always aligned vertically centered. As I said in my first post, I can do this with tables; I was hoping to be able to do this with CSS.
I've included some character based graphics to give a sense of what I'm attempting to accomplish; I thought I had articulated my need previously (I had already tried what had been suggested) so I'm guessing a visual illustration is in order: --------------- | graphic | | | short string of text centered vertically on graphic | | | | ---------------- --------------- | graphic | | | Long string of text with both lines of text centered | | vertically on graphic as the text overflows to a new line | | ---------------- is this possible to do with CSS (note: if you missed my previous post: I have a 68x68 graphic that I want to align my text vertically against -- It's kind of a section marker).
