I have found out how to do it and it's pretty simple. Use an inline style=width with your image style. style="width:300px;" As in the example below. .imgLeft { float:left; padding:.5em; font-size:.8em; font-family: Arial, san-serif; } <div class="imgLeft" style="width:300px;">your image</div> http://public.ca.sandia.gov/crf/research/combustionProcesses/ coalResearch.php Thank you so much, Tracey -- ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
