Hi,

Please take a look at this post http://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/node/1082in IE 7. One of the images floats over the text. I can't seem to do anything from preventing the behavior.

Judicious use of spaces allows me to format it acceptably for Firefox although there are still some goofy formatting issues here and there.

I have to jump through a lot of hoops to make my stuff show up the way I want using the editor. I am starting to think I am better off just inserting HTML directly?

Image over the text

 Chris,

I linked to it and there was not one single image over the text. Every image was correct and clear away from the text.

The WYSIWYG editor

Chris:

The WYSIWYG editor can be finicky when it comes to posting photos and doing a float left or float right.

Your post also looks pretty sad in IE6 ... let me study what you've done and make some recommendations as to how best post what you're posting so it looks the best.

We use the very same WYSIWYG editor to compose the pages on this site, but we've learned where the potholes are and how to avoid them. I'll try to build some pointers for advanced posters like yourself so you know how to avoid the WYSIWYG editor potholes when you want to get a little fancier with image float and text float.

Thanks.. it would be

Thanks.. it would be appreciated.

The biggest problem I have is floating the text around images as I move the images from side to side on a page. I can usually get things reasonable in firefox.. but IE.. is.. well.. it is what it is..

IE 8

It might be of interest to some that IE 8 has been listed as a "Critical Update" for Windows now. So XP and Vista users can upgrade to it... although if you use some specialized "IE only" apps (the Army has a few I use), tread carefully - what used to work under IE6 & 7 does not work properly under more standards compliant IE 8.

for the most part I use

for the most part I use Firefox and have no floating problem with your "journal restart post" everything seems to be where it should be.

just checked my other 2 comps one using XP Pro with IE 7 and have no problem and then Checked my Quad Core super computer that I have Vista loaded on and IE8 and everything is perfect, nice pictures

IE????

It looks good in Firefox, which is all I use anyway.  I think IE is still buried somewhere on my system but it's generally not worth running, IMO.

I don't think Microsoft was even numbering the releases of IE when I first learned not to use it.  I've never looked back.  Mozilla just works better 99.9% of the time.

Great looking pics and the formatting of your blog looks awesome to me.

Thanks for the feedback.. On

Thanks for the feedback..

On my IE 7 machine at home I also get the same problem, the third picture down is out of position (left instead of right) and covering text. I have IE 8 on my shop computer.. I will try that next time I get a chance. It was "Dancing with the Stars" night with my wife last night..
