am using the following styles for a page layout

where a bunch of thumbnails with a brief description
flow accross the page and wrap onto the next line

div.floater{
float: left;
width : 250px;
}
div.floater p{
text-align : center;
}

the html is something like:

<div class="floater" align="center"> <img src="image.jpg"
align="center"><br>
<p>some text here
<br>
more text here
</div>

the image tag and the text is populated from a database.

it works like a dream (IE and Opera) ... and looks just right, 3 or 4 pics accross the screen then wrapping onto the next line., and cooly reshuffling if the window is resized...

but with netscape 4 the divs don't wrap they just go in one long line,
is this a known issue and is there a work around,
i'd like to get it working if possible although my logs show netscape 4+ as less than 1% of my users so i can live with it if not.

additionally on testing at times IE 5.5 has rendered the page well except it has left a big gap before displaying the pics, equivalent to a couple of rows of pics, weird and although i've replicated the behaviour but it sems random.

no i didn't try netscape6

as i don't have it but it works fine in k-meleon which uses the same engine, so assume it does.

although i get less hits from netscape6 than 4series (both are fractions though)
