I´m loading html formatted text into fixed size, text wrapping dynamic textfield but the \<br\> doesn´t seem to work correctly after img tag, the text is pushed to right side of the image not below. I have to make 20 \<br\> tags to make the text visible correctly under the image…  
What am I doing wrong?  
I need the textfield to be fixed size because of the scrollbar I´m using. Text is not embedded, verdana 12pt, image is 302 pixels high.  
HELP!

</div>

if you want the text to appear below the image, why not wrap the image in a different paragraph tag? as in:

\<p\>text above image\</p\>  
\<p\>\<img=image.jpg\>\</p\>  
\<p\> text below image \</p\>
