Re: [PHP] Annoying display problem
The obvious answer would be a table.

I've put off trying to figure out how to accomplish a fairly simple display
problem. It's probably so simple, that I keep missing it.
Here's what I'd like to accomplish:
I want an image (aligned on the left side) with text beside it (aligned in
the center). That sounds simple enough. But try as I may, I can't get it to
work.
Here's the code I've tried:
***
?php
// lotsa stuff
print brdiv align='left'img src='709-2585.jpg' width='120'
height='120' alt=' '//a/divdiv
align='center'{$_SESSION['desc']}/divbr;
// more stuff
?
***
What it displays:
The pix is on the left where it should be, but the text isn't centered, but
hangs either just underneath the pix. I've seen many sites with this layout.
Perhaps they've separated the image/text. But I can't figure out how they did
it.
Any ideas?
Will greatly appreciate some suggestions, and at this point, hand-slapping
for missing the obvious:
Tia, Andre

Wrapping something in a div will often get you an implied br
depending on the circumstances. If you want text centred beside an
image that's not the most obvious solution is probably a table.
However, you might also try this (which is completely untested but may
do what you want...)
div align=center
img src=image.jpg width=120 height=120 alt= align=left
some text here, whatever...
/div
I tend to think that centering is over-used in many web pages so I don't
often mix things like this but it may well produce the behaviour you're
looking for.

Re: [PHP] Annoying display problem
Thanks Dave,
I tried that one, and the results were interesting. I reverted to the
table method (I should have thought of it earlier, seeing that I had just
used it in the lines just before [go figure!], but my mind was too frazzled
to see it.
Now I've got the text sitting nicely beside the pix, but no matter what I try
(i.e. td cellpadding=5 or whatever, the text butts right to the left
margin, and won't format nicely -- it looks, in three words ugly and
unprofessional. It offends my typsetting days!
Is there any way I can set the margins for the test, in particular, the left
margin?
Code is now:
print brtd bgcolor='#ACE'table border=0td align='left'
td cellpadding='5'img src='709-2585.jpg' width='120'
height='120' alt=' '//a/td
td bgcolor='#ACE'td cellpadding='5'{$_SESSION['desc']}/td
/table;
Any ideas?
Tia,
pAndre

RE: [PHP] Annoying display problem
Now I've got the text sitting nicely beside the pix, but no matter what I try (i.e. td cellpadding=5 or whatever, the text butts right to the left margin, First option is to insert cellpadding or cellspacing in your table tag - that's where it get's set for the whole table. A possible solution could include using hspace=10 in your image tag (don't know if that would be swallowed up in the table layout though). Another option would be to use styles - define a style for putting padding around something and then use that style for your test (or probably your image for that matter).

Re: [PHP] Annoying display problem
Hi Dave, Well, I sort of solved it by adding: tdnbsp;nbsp;/td in a few judicious places. Renders well in Konqueror, Mozilla, and Galeon. Btw, I've been using CSS, and thought of doing it there, but it's a lot of trouble for only one table.
