Don,
Try this.
Using a stylesheet and float with "class" works in NN4.5,
Using a stylesheet and float with an "id" does not. Both work in IE.

Let me be clearer: This works in NN-

<STYLE type="text/css">
IMG.testa {float: left}
</STYLE>

<img src="myimage1.gif" class="testa"> Text text text text

And this does not work in NN-

<STYLE type="text/css">
IMG#testb {float: left}
</STYLE>

<img src="myimage2.gif" id="testb">Text text text text


Hope this helps,
jimmy

(By the way, NN4.08 is buggy, you should upgrade to 4.6 or better)
