MacLustre Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Hi (Keyword variations of 'text flow, text wrap, two columns, tables', haven't managed to narrow my search.)(I'm not specifically trying to reach my objective using Tables, I'm just exploring the option.)I want placed, in a Box of fixed height, two columns each containing text, and one floating image.The text is in three paragraphs of roughly equal size.In order for the text to balance across the two columns, the middle paragraph's text should wrap (like it would in Scribus) from the bottom of the Left Column, to the top of the Right Column.The code for this must be simple: css1, maximum cross-browser compatibility. If that excludes a solution, oh-well.I'm thinking that something may be done using a Table, within a single-set of <td> tags... maybe with a floating <span> ...?Thanks for taking the time to share any advice.

Synook Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 You can't shift text like you want to using CSS, any version. However Scribus does it, it isn't CSS.All the rest can just be accomplished using a few floated elements. Span is an inline element, however - you can't float it.P.S. Why CSS1?
