Hi,

I'd like to place description text to the right of an image, then another image below the first one and then more text to the right of the second image, etc. Paragraphs and brakes didn't seem to work. Do I use DIV for the image and the text or only the text? The images are aligned left. The <pre></pre> tag changes the font type.

Do I need to create CSS properties for each image and text block? Is there a simpler way to do this?

PS. Here's a link: http://www.fla-ewa.com/wpblog/?page_id=22

Thanks!

It would seem what you have to do is:

• Add first image
• Add text below image
• Add second image below text
• Add second block of text below second image
• Click on first image and go into properties and select float left
• Go into second image properties and select float right
• Tweak

The way the text floats will depend on how much text you have and the space allotted for it.

Thanks Larry,

maybe I didn't explain well... I'd like description text to float to the right of each image. The method you described doesn't work as expected - I already tried that. "Float left" is CSS property right? I setup "alignleft" for the images. It looks right in the Dashboard box, but not after the page is updated.
Is there a way to add text into an invisible text box to right of the image in a div kind of like this:

<div style="position:absolute; left:450px; top:385px; width:407px; height:118px; padding: 10px; overflow: auto;">..text here...</div>

..or that's not a good idea?


Thanks!

position:absolute can be problematic. how about using tables?

Well, I was trying to avoid tables. It definitely looks really weird... I'm trying to work in the Contacts page. It kind works if when I have the image laignleft and put the text in a div which I aligncenter, but then I need to have a section name (wrapped <h4>) which places itself right under the div text no matter what I did. I tried to alignleft to no success.

Why this basic stuff is so hard to accomplish? Do I need to create a custom CSS for positioning?

Thanks!

If this page indicates what you are trying to do then the addition of

<div style="clear:both;">&nbsp;</div>

between each image/text combo is what I did. I put the first image in and set it to align left. I then added the text for the image. Then I went into HTML mode and added the clear:both item. Then I added the second image and set it to align right. Then I added the second text block.
