.sample-summary is 100% width, and is holding the images down. In Chrome dev tools, I was able to add a style to .sample-summary as so: width: 30%; Float:left; and to the child s, width: 100%; The images then came up to the top of the green div. On Mon, Oct 20, 2014 at 8:55 PM, John wrote:

This doesn't appear to be related to CSS. I would look first to the CMS WYSIWYG as it appears to be stripping the href from the first tag (from what I see, this is consistent although your question states "some times"). If you're using a WYSIWYG, try writing some markup that should work and past

I have to agree with Philip here. If you don't know context you can use the formula you referenced. That, I believe, is his point. Viewport width is not something you will know. If, for example, you know your content will be a max-width of 960px, then you can work off of that in the formula. Also
