I'm a beginner at CSS layout and just discovered this list. I hope someone can help. I'm doing a layout for an artist's website. I don't have much choice over the layout. The blue image represents the paintings. They will be different heights and widths. Also there will be text underneath the paintings that might vary in length. The problem is having the image stay in the container when I do it in CSS without using a fixed height for the container.
Example 1 http://lizdesign.com/demosite/example1.html This shows how it should look. Here the image and side menu are in tables but the rest of the page is in CSS. There will also be text underneath of varying height. The image is nicely staying withing the container. Example 2 http://lizdesign.com/demosite/example2.html Here is my lame attempt to do the image and side menu with CSS. I have floated the image to the left in order to have the side nav be on the side but this has made the image fall out of the container. I cannot do a fixed height for the container because the size will change and there will be a varying amount of text under the image and nav. Why does the image fall out when I float it left and what would be the best way to do this layout? Thanks in advance.
