image alignment not working with child theme of twentyten

  • A dozen wordpress sites under my belt and I am being tripped up by the simplest thing.

    https://www.safeproductions.co.uk/01wp/about-safe/

    the standard classes of alignleft and alignright are not flowing the text to the side but appearing just as they did with the old html alignments. It’s probably a float conflict but I’ll be darned if I can find the cause. Could someone give me a steer please or I will end up using tables or something equally bad.

  • Not sure what you are trying to do, give me more of an idea of what it should look like.

    That was quick!

    The problem is aligning images right, with the correct float statements in the css for float and margins etc. Expecting the text to flow to the left of the image. The page cited above now looks correct but this is because I have fudged the formatting of the text and inserted the image after the opening h3 tag.

    But if you look here:

    The first paragraph aligns correctly, but anything after the second h3 tag is forced down below the image instead of flowing on. Again I can force it to work by stripping the tags and forcing span styles, but this produces poor and inconsistent markup in terms of subhead spacing.

    At root I just want to cure the inconsistent performance of the float statements in the css. Does this clarify?

    I forgot to mention, I am less concerned about getting the pages looking correct, I can force that with fudges. My concern is with how the heck the client is going to manage pages if layout has to be fudged!

    OK it is pretty certain that the fault lies in something I have done in the child css of twentyten. I just tried it with the default twentyten and with athualpa and the floatright is doing exactly what it should.
