Remove a linebreak after IMG

I have an img element set next to a div. I have tried a couple of different approaches to remove the linebreak that is occurring between the two but have not had any success. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

CSS

#newsMainBody
{
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
background:#61bc49;
width: 750px;
height: 900px;
font-family:"sans-serif";
text-align:left;
-moz-border-radius: 10px;/*mozilla*/
z-index: 1;
white-space: nowrap;
}

#starOfMonth
{
background: #ffff99;
width: 275px;
height: 300px;
text-align: center;
font-family:"sans-serif";
white-开发者_高级运维space: normal;
}

HTML

<div id="newsMainBody">
   <img src="img/farm.jpg" alt="Farm photo" />
   <div id="starOfMonth">
      <br />
      <font style="font-weight:bold;font-size:medium; color:Purple;">DooLittle Farms Childcare</font><br />
      <font style="font-size:small;">"We're Growing Great Kids"</font><br />
      <img id="starImg" src="img/gold-star.jpg" alt="Star of the Week" width="200" height="200"/><br />
      Our Star Of The Week!
    </div>
 </div>

Add:

#newsMainBody img {
float: left;
}

#startOfMonth {
float: right;
}

and remove the first <br /> after <div id="starOfMonth">, it's useless (use padding-top in css instead if you need some space)

Try making the image and the div float:left; You WILL need to provide a width for each to make this work.

#starOfMonth
{
background: #ffff99;
float: left;
width: 275px;
height: 300px;
text-align: center;
font-family:"sans-serif";
white-space: normal;
}

#starOfMonthImage {
height:275px; /*Optional, but it's a good idea to supply height for images so that the browser doesn't shift things around during the loading process*/
width:475px; /*OR SOMETHING!  Make it narrower if it isn't working, I haven't been super careful about reading your padding in depth so this may be wrong.*/
float:left;
}

Then you can write:

<div id="newsMainBody">
   <img src="img/farm.jpg" alt="Farm photo" id="starOfMonthImage" />
   <div id="starOfMonth">
      <br />
      <font style="font-weight:bold;font-size:medium; color:Purple;">DooLittle Farms Childcare</font><br />
      <font style="font-size:small;">"We're Growing Great Kids"</font><br />
      <img id="starImg" src="img/gold-star.jpg" alt="Star of the Week" width="200" height="200"/><br />
      Our Star Of The Week!
    </div>
 </div>

On the assumption you're referring to the one with the alt-text of Farm photo:

div#newsMainBody > img {
/*        display: block; commented out as per @M2tM's comment, below */
    float: left;
    width: 200px;
}
#starOfMonth {
    margin-left: 200px; /* or 'width of floated image' + 'a margin of 10px' 
}                       /* or whatever, just so they're not physically touching */

Should achieve this, but I'm unsure why you've got a floating <br /> inside the #starOfMonth div. That might be a problem.

Live demo, over at jsbin (obviously the images don't load (given the src isn't pointing at anything, but it should give you a feel for what my approach does.)
