Hi! Forgive me, I am a relative CSS newbie. I have a div that is floated to the right with another div (main info) I’d like to wrap around the div column to the right. It looks fine in Safari/Firefox on the Mac, but it doesn’t work for IE (v. 7) on the PC. All the info I want to wrap around the left column just moves to the bottom of the column and leave a huge white gap to the left of the column. I’m attaching a screenshot from Safari…this is how I want it to look…[attachment=0]Picture 3.png[/attachment]except for the margin issue to the left which brings me to another issue. How do I fix that margin issue? I’ve been screwing around with this for a couple days and now I feel I have messed up a few things. Here’s the html and css:
