Overview
RFI-helper - Responsive Floating Images is a jQuery plugin designed to maintain readable space between text and floating images. It automatically adjusts image sizes within permitted limits to preserve the available text area.
When an image can no longer be reduced enough to maintain the required text space, the plugin can cancel the floating behavior, restore the image to its original size, and center it within the column.
The plugin automatically recalculates its layout when the browser window is resized or its orientation changes.
