Answer 1

As a side note, since you tagged this as HTML5, you would be better off using

and

to mark up this content.

For example:

   
   
This is some example text that i want next to the image on the right hand side

Then you could style it like:

figure {
   margin: 0;
   width: 600px;
   height: auto;
   overflow: hidden;
}
figure img {
   width: 30%;
   float: left;
}
figure figcaption {
   width: 70%;
   float: right;
}
