The placement of an element is determined by its size and proportions

I'm experiencing some issues with avatars on my website. When the avatar size is set to 35x35 pixels, everything works fine. However, problems arise when the dimensions exceed 35x35 pixels.

I suspect that the problem is related to the "position: absolute;" attribute, but I haven't been able to find a suitable replacement for it.

Here is a live demo illustrating the issue: http://jsfiddle.net/AtJVb/0/

As you can see from the demo, the avatar appears too large, but the surrounding elements remain in their original positions instead of adjusting accordingly.

For comparison, here is a live demo with a 35x35 image: http://jsfiddle.net/AtJVb/1/

In this demo, everything looks perfect, and I would like the first example to have the same layout (author, date, and comment elements), but with a larger image size.

I am open to any solutions or suggestions. Thank you in advance.

Answer №1

To achieve the desired layout, simply apply a float: left to the avatar and a clear: left to the comment body.

Avoid using absolute positioning in this case as it creates issues with the layout.

When an element is positioned absolutely, it is removed from the normal flow of the document and does not affect the position of other elements.
