Solution#1 does not clear the link below the image. That was why I
presented it as well. I guess you didn't try that one.

Since I see no other reason for not applying the rules properly and
instead going with a hack?

I don't care in the least what you end up using. I took your question in
good faith requesting to know how and why ("Help please!"). I showed you
how and tried to point out the why. The normal way is to use the tools
provided by the specs, that is to say; simply applying the rules
properly. If it is not possible, then one goes on to trying hacks. You,
on the other hand, from what I surmised and from what you say now,
choose to ignore the norm and choose a hack. It simply boggles my mind
and I expressed that you still did not understand the how and least of
all the why and to top it off, you seem to not care. It undercuts the
good faith part.

The biggest difference between people's work, no matter in what
endeavor, is that of pride in their work.

I understand what you say and why you say it, considering this newsgroup
where it is commonplace for the regulars to respond only with cryptic
responses and demeaning statements. I, on the other hand, certainly was
trying to be helpful and clear. You were not even listening and wasted
both of our times.
My solutions apply the rules properly with minor differences. The
difference in Solution#2 does not suit you, but Solution#1 should suit
you, yet you are going with an unnecessary, applied hack and still don't
clearly understand floats and clears, hence the "Whatever rings your
bell" (meaning: use what you want to use and are happy with, plus good
luck to you).
I'm beginning to understand (not condone) what has driven the regulars
to their cryptic and often rude responses.
