Default Text to flow round images? - 07-12-2004 , 09:15 PM






Can someone please advise me is it possible to add HTML tags to make text
flow around the images on the page no matter what size text has been chosen?
At the moment I'm writing different pages for 1024x768 and 600x800 using
tables but there always seem to be gaps
below the images.
If someone is using a different sized text from the one I wrote the page
with then again gaps open and it looks awful.
Is ther some way of making the HTML script close up and flow round the
images?

Thanks

PCD.

Make sure you have the align tag set eg:

<img src="yourimage.gif" alt="" width="999" height="999" hspace="9"
vspace="7" align="left">

Any text around this image will wrap around. Values are left, right, top,
bottom etc. Alter the vspace and hspace values to provide a gap around the
image. This seems an easy answer.. hope this is what you meant.

It's an attribute - not a tag

please confirm which version of the HTML specs you are refering to. In the
absense of any reference it must be assumed that your post refers to the
latest version. In which case, please refrain from offering advice until
you know what you're talking about.
