IE's quirkiness with positioning images

I have read this on several blogs and websites, how IE does not display aligned images properly when you use align="left" or align="right". In Mozilla, if you insert an image before a block of text and you align the image to the left, all the text will be positioned to the right of that image until the height of that image is reached. Whereas, in IE, only the first line (the line that comes right after the image tag) is positioned to the right of the image. If you insert a break (br) anywhere in that block, everything that comes after that break appears at the bottom of the image.

Solution

After searching for a while and trying out several things, I found out that the easiest way to do this is to insert the image in a one-cell table, then align that table however you want (left/right). Until the height of the image (or table rather) is reached, all the text will be placed to the right of that image.
