css - Floating text next to variable width image without wrapping under image? -

I have two columns in a header, there is an image on the left, and the header text next to it is something I want to image and text Need, which is one side, I am swimming on either side, but they will not sit above the edge because I can not apply width in any form because the image can be a variable width on which I have no control.

  # headers {clear: both; Overflow: hidden) # header img {float: left;} # header h3 {color: # 000; Float: left;}   
 Is it possible to use divs / css to work if the image can be a variable width or should I use only one table? It also needs to work in IE 6+ (there is no control, either trust me.) Thanks!   
 
 
 Try this approach  
 Float left and right instead of left and right Please.
