Now that I have you here, I could use some help. I want a page layout with content on the left and a sidebar on the right, like we have now. I want long unbroken lines of content to overflow the sidebar rather than pushing the content's right margin (and the sidebar) off screen, a misfortune of my current layout, as exemplified in a page of My Comments with reallylonglinesofpointlesstextthatdoesnotwrapbecausesomeidiotdidnotusespacesnorhashyphensoranythingelsethatwouldcausealinebreak.
Picture this:
content area here +---------+ this content wraps | sidebar | blah blah blah | sidebar | areallylonglinethatoverflowsrightoffthescreen and continues here | sidebar | and here etc | sidebar | and here etc etc +---------+ and then we have normal flow out here like this.I think I want a floating DIV. I made my sidebar such, but now I get this:
content area here +---------+ this content wraps | sidebar | blah blah blah | sidebar | | sidebar | | sidebar | | sidebar | +---------+ areallylonglinethatoverflowsrightoffthescreen and continues here and here etc and here etc etc and then we have normal flow out here like this.
Leaving a large (maybe very large) span of vertical whitespace. The reallylongline and the rest of the content display only after the float has ended.
Is what I want possible? Worse yet, I require the solution to be compatible with MSIE 4x-6x, NS4, Mozilla, Opera, and WebTV.
I'm trying to display an image in a margin, I've set a negative margin on the image and that works in all browsers except NS4, which doesn't seem to handle negative margins correctly.
I want:
(margin) : [IMG] : Content here : and here : etc :NS4 puts the IMG ontop of the "and" in the content.
