I could not help noticing that your

in spite of being in tables does exactly this?

Never mind, there is a lot of stuff about fixing float drops.
Perhaps the first thing to understand about stuff next to floats
dropping is that quite apart from peculiarities of IE, it is
natural and often desirable behaviour. Few folk like horiz
scrolling, vertical is like breathing. Follow my meaning? It is a
good thing in many ways. But if you don't want it, you don't have
to have it, true it gets a bit more complicated now: Please take
a look, at least for a start maybe, at

and say what you think. Get down and dirty with the article and
ask specific questions here if you have difficulty with any of
it.
