CSS div height problem

[chaneguye]

I'm trying to set up a "table" style column of boxes, using divs, each containing some text and a right-floated image. I'm using a percentage for the widths as the page needs to be fluid.

Is there a way to make the divs include the image as well as the text when resizing? At the moment if the text depth is less than the image height - the image drops out of the div box and messes up the box below.

I've tried min-height (which won't work) as well as   within a child div containing the image and setting the height. Whenever I set the height, the div will not inherit the text - ie the text dops outside the box.

I can probably fix it with tables but that means huge chunks of code and shims etc.

I'd be very, very grateful if anyone can help

Called the vertical line spacing, with the line-height in css to control.

Called the horizontal spacing between words, use css in the letter-spacing to control.

Units and height is the same.
