Set div to the width of content with max width - html

Question

I have a div that contains a float left image and then text. It does the following.
.outer-div {
max-width: 95%;
background-color: yellow;
display: inline-block;
}
.image {
float: left;
}
<div class="outer-div">
<img class="image" src="http://www.w3schools.com/images/colorpicker.png">
<div class="test">Here is some text that I want the outer div to size to without line-breaking.</div>
</div>
Note, how it creates the outer div size based on the text alone and then it inserts the floating image, causing the text to wrap. I want the outer div width to be the width of the floated image + the width of the text, and then only line-break when it reaches the max-width of 95%.
EDIT: I also don't want ALL of the text to go below the image once the first line reaches the edge of the page. However, when there is a lot of text, I do want it to wrap under the image.

Answer 1

You can use flexbox to achieve that, see the example below:
jsFiddle
.outer-div {
display: inline-flex;
align-items: flex-start;
max-width: 95%;
background-color: yellow;
}
<div class="outer-div">
<img class="image" src="http://www.w3schools.com/images/colorpicker.png">
<div class="test">Here is some text that I want the outer div to size to without line-breaking.</div>
</div>

Answer 2

Using "inline-block" on the test DIV should set it to align next to the other block. Add the following to your CSS section and you should be good.
.test {
display: inline-block;
}
Then you can add the following if you wanted it to be centered at the top rather than the bottom:
vertical-align: top;
Hopefully this helps you out! Best of luck!

Answer 3

A friend of mine was messing around and found the answer. The answer is to float the image inside the test div with the text. No changes need to be made to the CSS.
Example below:
.outer-div {
max-width: 95%;
background-color: yellow;
display: inline-block;
}
.image {
float: left;
}
<div class="outer-div">
<div class="test"><img class="image" src="http://www.w3schools.com/images/colorpicker.png">Here is some text that I want the outer div to size to without line-breaking.</div>
</div>
Here is an example with a lot of text to verify that it wraps under the image.
.outer-div {
max-width: 95%;
background-color: yellow;
display: inline-block;
}
.image {
float: left;
}
<div class="outer-div">
<div class="test"><img class="image" src="http://www.w3schools.com/images/colorpicker.png">Here is some text that I want the outer div to size to without line-breaking. And here is a ton more text to add to the post to show that it properly wraps around the image even with a ton of text.Here is some text that I want the outer div to size to without line-breaking.
