Re: [WSG] Re: Image float and text wrap
Hey Russyes i do... and here it is... http://www.healthpoint.com.au/new/default.php I seem to have all the side bits sorted out ( I should note that this is my first attempt at a css only site ... actually my first styly sheet...so you may find some crashing blunders in there as i am just feeling my way along here!!!) The bit i am talking about is the large image of mum and kid... if i dont have enough content in that area...content changes every month... it all sits up at the top and then i have this massive space under it. I hate that. The other thing is when i dont have enough content to fill the section the next header eg beauty slides up into the top section.. i hate that too!!! This is going to apply to all the lower sections too as there will be images in each department. Well that got that little lot off my chest. any help at all would be hugely appreciated as i am all tuckered out here!!!

Re: [WSG] Re: Image float and text wrap
Re: Image float etc Have finally found time to sit and read all the emails that come through from you guys and lo and behold you answered the question that had been driving me mad about image float and text wrap so thank you all for that. Now i have another question. If i dont have enough text to "fill" the space taken by the image is there any way i can get the text to align itself horizontally to the image so that theres not a pile of space under the content before the next lot of content comes in.

RE: [WSG] RE: Image float and text wrap
Thanks, but this caused the text next to the image to align to the bottom of the
image. Is there any way to make it align the the top?
p.s. I'm having a hard time keeping up with everyone's suggestions, but thanks muchly
all the same! I'll try them all :D

Try:
div#megatron {
position: relative;
margin-left: 100px;
}
div#megatron img {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
}
..

Re: [WSG] Re: Image float and text wrap
too many divs!
text text text ...
a p{width:200px;margin-left:120px;}
a img{float:left}
just keep it simple, and add a descendent selector if this is just for
one section of your page
(...)
All your base are belong ...
I don't test the script. Configure this according your necessity ;)

Hi Miles,
You might need to use a span instead of a div and redefine it to be block
level using display: block. I haven't tested this but as far as I can
remember the HTML spec does not allow block level elements inside an anchor
() tag.

Thanks, that achieves the effect I'm after,
but
The reason I wanted to do it was because the image and the text both linked
to the same URL with an tag each (in separate cells of a table). I
wanted to combine them so they were both wrapped in the one tag, but
when the tag is wrapped around both div's clicking the image doesn't
open the URL.

Miles :
Put your text in in a block set its margin-left to x pixels (.eg 170)
should be wider than the image (.eg 160).. The margin will run from
the left of the containing block.
This will work for fixed width images.

Miles,
Try using something like Eric Meyer's absolutely positioned image trick:
http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/popups/demo.html and
http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/popups/demo2.html -- these use
absolute positioning to take a or an image out of the normal
document flow and position it somewhere else. You could use this trick to
move your image to the left of the content and the hover effect should
still work.
HTH,
Vik

Hi Miles, There are several ways of accomplishing this. Here are three different ways I've done: content (multiple block elements) floated right, image floated left. http://www.mxdu.com/ image (accommodates variable width) floated left, content floated left - inline styles. http://www.brendansisson.com/ image floated left, content floated left. http://www.leyland.com.au/ All use "clear" to stop things going whack when there's insufficient content.
