Image scaling / position

Freeway
1

Hi All,

I’m trying to get my image to scale in height with the text next to it (in Backdraft). I’m setting the image as a background within a div that it positioned absolute (top & botton: 0), withing a wrapping div positioned relative.

Two things are happening

  1. When I have the image set to float right (which is where I ideally want it), it appeares to the left over the text.

  2. If I float image left and text right, I get the desired effect (albeit with the elements opposite to where I want them), but when I reach the break point the text drops behind the image instead of below it.

I guess that the image div is not recognised as having any content so is kind of ignored??

Obviously I’m going about this the wrong way - can anyone out there let me konw the correct way.

Thanks in advance. Steve

Position absolute is absolute wrong!

Thanks for your reply Thomas,

OK - I remove position absolute and the div just disappears; as it actually has no content, just a background. How do I get the image to grow with the height of its wrapping div? If I use a flexible image it will scale but I need it to scale full height and not be constrained by the width. Setting as a background gives me the scaling im after.

The bottom example gives me exactly the right effect but at the breakpoint the text just shifts behind the image.

Cheers. Steve
