html css float not wraping around top of image,

Question

I float an image to the right of a paragraph with margin-top: 70px.

The text floats under the image, but it does not float over the image.

how do I get the text to flow over the top of the image as shown by the red rectangle in the provided image. I added the red rectangle to the screen shot, it is not native to the html or css.

.floatright {
  float: right;
  border: 1px solid black; 
  margin-top: 70px; 
}

img {
  width: 100px;
  height: 100px;
}

you can achieve it with shape-outside

div {
    float: left;
    border: 1px solid black;
    margin-top: 50px;
    width: 150px;
    shape-outside: border-box;
}
img{
  max-width: 100%;
}
p{
  float:none;
}

<div>
  <img class="floatright" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/2000/1*kOuvkQUrByiaqZYTZFJz4g.png" alt="foo"/>
</div>

when you run the code snippet - the text does not float over the picture. It floats on the bottom of the picture, not the top — capser, Dec 10 '18 at 14:14
@capser I have added image of how it looks to me and it seems as per your question — Rahul, Dec 10 '18 at 14:20
@capser You should mention in the question that you want specifically an IE9 answer. That browser is obsolete and practically dead, so any usual modern approaches won't work with it. — JJJ, Dec 10 '18 at 15:08

What you need is to use, shape outside on the image.

If you enable my border-radius here, it will work with the ellipse as well.

Also - Note that I put your Image outside/Next to the paragraph

.yourImage {
    width: 400px;
    height: 250px;
    /* border-radius: 50%; */
    float: right;
    shape-outside: content-box;
    padding: 10px;
    background-color: MediumPurple;
    background-clip: content-box;
    margin-top: 50px;
    display: inline-block;
}

<img class="yourImage" src="whatever">

While code is useful for showing the solution, it's recommended that you give an explanation as to what your code does and how it solves the problem. This would not only give the OP an idea of what is going on in your code, but also for those future Googlers too. — Studocwho, Dec 10 '18 at 19:11
