Display:block won't help with that, no. What you describe is just an
IE bug. Depending on the rest of the page, you could give the image
position:absolute, but it will not only get past the bottom border of
your "top strip", but it will also be ignored by anything else on the
page. I can imagine that if you know the size of the image beforehand,
you can place a left floated empty div in the right size in the next
"strip", so that text will *seem* to flow around the absolutely
positioned image.
