Difficult CSS Layout Question

November 4th, 2007 · No Comments

testlayoutimage1.gifI can often figure out how to make a CSS layout or in worst case patch it with tables. But this is REALLY tough… I haven’t found a way to do it. Can you? I did come up with some tricks by creating small bits in each corner but still can’t get the whole thing to work. Any hints?Read More Below...


What has to happen it that there are 4 boxes with a 5th center box that has the text wrapping around it. I figured I could have 4 divs to make the text wrap and then a 5th to actually have the content. I can get the bottom boxes working (float:right and float:left) but the top ones are a bit sticky. I can get them floated right and left but NOT at the bottom unless I tweak the position of the div in relation to the text. I can also do this by adjusting the vertical alignment in the table to be the bottom. But then again NOT the effect I was going for. Any tips or hints on this one?
