Text doesn't wrap properly around an image in Internet Explorer

Up to Table of Contents

This FAQ applies to: 2.0, 2.1, 2.5

When I float images to the left or right, why is the text not wrapping correctly when viewed in Internet Explorer?

Internet Explorer has a problem correctly displaying text that is in a separate paragraph. For those familiar with some HTML, that would be any text contained within a <p> and a </p> tag. This results in a stop to text wrapping at the end of each closing paragraph break.

The workaround solution is to remove any paragraph breaks next to an image and replace them with simple line breaks. Whenever you hit enter on a page you are creating a paragraph break. To create a line break instead back up over the paragraph breaks and use shift + enter. (For those of you who want to look at the HTML code you will want to remove the <p> and </p> tags that are in the middle of the image and replace them with one or more <br /> tags)
