You floated the image, which means its parent doesn't extend to
include it. You can solve this by adding an element right before the
closing </div>, with the property clear:both;

<div>
<img src=".." alt="..." style="float:left;">
<p>text</p>
<br style="clear:both;">
</div>

(obviously the styles are better in a stylesheet, and the clearing
element doesn't need to be a <br>, could be anything suitable.)

You're welcome :-)
