In a percentage-width container, a H2 is floated left and an image is floated right.
As the browser width is decreased, the image is pushed left towards the H2. When they meet, the logo is pushed down below the H2.

How can I make it so that the text starts wrapping over multiple lines before the image drops down underneath it? Like a sort of CSS "force whitespace wrap"?
This is probably simple but my brain isn't working :(
Is it necessary that the heading be floated left? You could left align it, remove its float, and place it below the image within the HTML to get your desired effect.

HTML
<img id="btnLeft" src="img/btnLeft.png"/>
<img id="logo01" src="img/logo01.png"/>
CSS
#btnLeft{heigth:64px;}
#btnLeft:hover{height:74px;}
On mouseover btnLeft pushes #logo01 down by 10px.
I want #logo01 to stay in place.
Create a separate div for your image elements, float them left or right depending on your preference and then use use vertical-align: top on the containing div. Here is an example: http://jsfiddle.net/94zVg/.
The reason for this issue is because you have to image elements side by side which will be aligned to the bottom of their containing block. When one image is enlargened, it expands the containing block and the other element descends to stick to the bottom of it. Floating and aligning vertically solve this problem.
Give the first image a width as well, otherwise its width will expand proportionally and push the adjacent image down.
#btnLeft{height:64px;width:100px;}
#btnLeft:hover{height:74px;}

As you know when we float an HTML element, we remove it from normal flow and other elements act as if there was no element at all, they just don't see it. But why text starts to wrap around floated image, isn't it suppose to go underneath the image?
You seem to confuse absolute positioning with a flow layout. Floated elements are moved to the left/right, and text does respect them by wrapping around.
I have got an issue in a header where I want the middle element to stay centered between the two flash end pieces. I put the middle element after the right div in the html, thought I specified the css right, but when I STRETCH the page to the right, the middle element does not move/stay centered. Are you able to see what I'm doing wrong?
From looking at the code on the page you supplied, you need to remove the float:left from the headerCenter div
for reference here is a jsfiddle link:

To start off with, there is only the top div. When the user clicks the edit button, I have some javascript to replace the top div with the bottom div. Problem is, when the replace happens, there is a slight twitch of sorts: everything jumps a couple of pixels.
I think the best way to fix this would be to have the top div vertically aligned. I have a height set for the top div that matches the height of the bottom div when it replaces the top one. So if both are aligned vertically, then no jump!
Problem is, vertical-align isn't working on the top div.
Any idea on what I could do?
I believe the elements that you want to vertically align must have "inline" or "table-cell" display.

I am having an issue with collapsing divs in CSS! But not the normal issue. That would be too easy. I have a left floating div which contains two left floated divs. The first of the left floated divs contains text. If the second inner floated div's style is empty, everything works fine and the outer div encompasses the text and both inner divs. What i need to do is set the width of the second div to 10px. Instantly when I do this the outer div collapses to 10px, squishing the text div down. What!? I am able to find some reference to this behaviour existing, but nothing comprehensive about what it is really and now to work around it.
Do you mean to clear the floats? you can overflow:hidden; zoom:1 if the element containing the floats isn't already a float, or if it already isn't somehow clearing them.
It would help if you jsfiddle.net it.
