How to set user image next to speech bubble

Question

I'm unable to set image next to speech bubble. I'm confused should i wrap speech bubble and user image into a relative division or in absolute division? Someone please clarify this and help me.

For Left Msg :

<div class='row'>
<div><img src="goes here"></div>
<div class='left-msg'>Message Goes Here</div>
</div>

For Right Msg :

<div class='row'>
<div class='right-msg'>Message Goes Here</div>
<div><img src="goes here"></div>
</div>

Demo goes here : http://jsfiddle.net/LwbML/2/

Answer 2

Would a floating layout cater to your needs?

A modified row from your jsfiddle would look like this:

<div class='row'>
    <div class='right-msg' style="float:left">Msg</div>
    <div><img style="margin-left:15px;" src="http://dummyimage.com/40x40/000/fff.jpg"/>  </div>
</div>

you may check the result in a fiddle.

HTML

<div class="row">
    <img class="align-left" src="images/img-31.jpg" alt="image description"/>
    <div class="text">Next block</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
    <img class="align-right" src="images/img-31.jpg" alt="image description"/>
    <div class="text">Next block</div>
</div>

Css

.align-left {
    float: left;
    margin: 0 10px 0 0;
}
.align-right {
    float: right;
    margin: 0 0 0 10px;
}
.row {
    width: 100%;
    overflow: hidden;
}
.text {
    background: #7bbcff;
    overflow: hidden;
    padding: 5px 15px;
}
