Is this possible?

[csmaster2005]

Ok, I was wondering if there is anyway to do something like this.
lets say i got part of a page split into 4 squares.
Now, lets say I want to put some stuff in the top right square, and text in the top left, bottom left and bottom right square.

Basically I want the text to wrap around the top left. This would be easy if the top right was just an image, but it is a table. So basically, I want to do the same thing as if it was an image and i did align=right and the text would wrap around it, but instead it will be a table.
Any ideas?

I have no idea what you mean, could you draw a diagram using paint please?

here's my site.

I want to do it to the ad towards the bottom. Basically I just want text to wrap around the ad. The thing is, the ad is an include.

do you mean like what i have done in the attachment? (blue line represenst where the text would go)

no I meant like.
Look at http://www.xbox360galaxy.com/previews/14/Perfect-Dark.html
see the first image, the one of the perfect dark girl in the top right? see how the text wraps around that image to the left and bottom?
I want to do the same thing. It is easy for images, but not sure how to do it in my situation.

This is easy. Throw away the tables and design using css. It is easy to put content inside a div and float right --- and amazingly the test will 'flow' around.

An example at -- http://www.vanbriggle.info/ . There are no tables on this page. The menu is a dev located on the left and in real (non-IE) browsers will not scroll as the text is scrolled thus keeping the menu visible.

The content is another div which is a percentage of the total page width. The Google Ads are in a div (within the content div) which floats right. That div can contain anything and even be made to scroll within its defined area.

NOTE that when the page is resized the content is still viewable without horizontal scrolling.

The things that can be done are amazing -- even the rollover type effects are css and not JavaScript -- and I am, by no streatch of the imagination an expert on the use of css.

Now after the sales pitch this can be done inside table cells -- I just put this together www.hiqnet.com/rotf/home.htm to demo this method instead of iframes. The scrolling text is a div within a table cell.

A quickly put together example at http://www.hiqnet.com/scroll-div-ex.html . This box scrolls but without the overflow: auto; the div would expand to hold the text.

heh cool stuff. I actually figured it out earlier, but realized I need to place it somewhere else, because some of the other articles have images etc, and thus it would look sloppy on some pages.

A diagram would explain yer question better.
