wrap text around image IE

Question

Hi

I have done a bit of searching for a solution to wrap text around an image and came across the JQSlickWrap. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2457266/jquery-plugin-to-wrap-text-around-images-support-ie6

But it is not working in IE. Is there another way to wrap text around an image? Or is that just not possible for IE yet?...

Great wrap example in firefox but not so great in IE: http://jwf.us/projects/jQSlickWrap/example1.html

There is this manuel way to create div's but in my case that is a no-go since it is multible images uploaded by a webmaster.

Maybe I don't understand the question full but I think if you just add an align attribute to an image i makes the other content in the parent container to wrap around the image from the other direction of the align value.

<img src="bla" align="right"/>

then the text would wrap around it from the left.

Not possible. It's using the canvas element, which isn't supported. There are drop-in solutions that mimic a canvas tag using VML, but VML doesn't support the getImageData method, so those solutions can't read the image data to find the wrapping points.
