# Firefox image and post problems

 * Hi all, I’ve just been editing my fies to allow me to wrap text around the images
   and everything is gone well using the Tamba2 guide @ [http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/graphicalcss/align/index.html](http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/graphicalcss/align/index.html)
 * However, it’s only working properly in Internet explorer and not Firefox where
   the posts start and finish at the beginning and end of the text while overlapping
   the images. Very odd.
 * Could any Firefox users spread a little light on what on earth is going on please?!
 * I’m guessing I need to add something to reinforce that the post should finish
   at the end of the image and not the end of the text?
 * Here’s the code for the latest post if that helps…
 * ‘<span style=”float:left;padding:5px;”><img src=”[http://www.ektopia.co.uk/ektopia/images/vroombox.jpg&#8221](http://www.ektopia.co.uk/ektopia/images/vroombox.jpg&#8221);
   width=”268″ height=”190″ alt=”” title=”” /></span> Now this is pretty exciting
   stuff. The [VroomBox](http://www.vroombox.com/) (currently in development) “utilizes
   a powerful microprocessor to digitally recreate the sound of your favourite muscle
   cars, and syncronize them to the engine in your own car. So when you step on 
   the gas, you get the powerful roar of a ’71 Barracuda, a Shelby Mustang, etc.
   It sounds so realistic, it will blow you (and the guy next to you) away.” My 
   3 cylinder Corsa’s gonna sound bitching when I get my hands on one of these! [

 * I just looked in FF and it looks just as it should.

 * On a couple of posts, you have the image ‘breaking through’.
    Try placing the`
   <div id="clearer">&nbsp;</div>` at the end of the text.

 * mmm, already tied ctrl/F5 with no joy. the clearer thing doesn’t change it either.
 * Maybe it’s a FF version thing? I’m using 1.0.1
 * Here’s a link to what it looks like here…

   and that certainly ain’t the way it should look!!!

 * That’s breakthrough forcing things out of line.
    In your css, do you have this?
 * `div.clearer {
    clear: left; line-height: 0; height: 0; }

 * I’ve just added more of the clearer divs to some of the other posts and they 
   do stop the pictures “stacking sideways” like the ones at the bottom of the page.
   However, the line that goes underneath the whole post to signify its end is cutting
   through the images above. Very odd.
 * I should also mention that it only does it when the page is vied quite wide so
   you won’t see anything wrong if you’re looking at it under 800px across; resize
   it though to make it bigger and all will become clear…nastily clear!

 * I’m looking at 1024*768
 * The clearer div should solve the problem – it’s purpose is literally to clear
   everything before the next part starts.
    It’s a case of trying it in a couple
   of places: Immediately after the image but before the text On the same line as
   the end of the text At the end of the text but on the next line.
 * ‘fraid I can’t test at higher than 800 width ….. 🙁

 * Podz, I do have that including in the CSS, I’ve just checked to make sure that
   it was saved and transfered to my theme’s folder and it is.
 * The altered code is now…
 * ‘<span style=”float:left;padding:5px;”><img src=”[http://www.ektopia.co.uk/ektopia/images/vroombox.jpg&#8221](http://www.ektopia.co.uk/ektopia/images/vroombox.jpg&#8221);

 * Yes …. but why the span ?
    The page at T2 in the section marked “3. On the right
   with text wrap” has some CSS which is what I used when creating the page. Have
   you tried using that ? The drop shadow is not important and can be removed.

 * I used the span method becuase I wanted the image on the left. I guess you’re
   saying that I can do the same thing but change ‘float:right;’ to ‘float:left;’
 * I’ll give that a try. Thanks Podz

 * Nope, tried that and thought I had it but I was testing in IE which as we know
   already works!! Doh!
 * I think I’ll give it a miss for now and maybe try again when I update my theme
   to the v1.5 styled themes (using 1.2 style theme at the moment).
 * Thanks for the input though people. Much appreciated.

 * Right, spent all evening transferring my old CSS and theme onto the new style
   1.5 setup and it all works fine now with the Span thing. So, thanks again for
   your help.
