I won't comment on what you have done, it seems fine... and does
not break on my Safari over a wide range. (You got justified
text? I don't advise this because _this_ looks odd at larger font
sizes) but I will say this: If you are going to have inline pics
and captions, you will avoid a real lot of probs by keeping your
captions nice and short and be done! If you need to say a bit,
well... it is in line and and the text is there for saying
things! You can say things gracefully about the pic too.
If you want a lot of text in captions, you wioll get every kind
of opinion and method and theyt will all have their ups and downs
and breaking points. Short captions are a great way to avoid many
probs.
