FrontPage...easy fix I hope
« on: November 09, 2004, 07:31:27 AM »
I have FrontPage2003. I have done trial and error four hours now and cannot find the fix. But I am sure it is easy.

I insert a pic but cannot enable text next to the pic. For example, the pic is inserted and is left justified, but there is all this blank space to the right where I would like to write some text. I try writing text but it just starts a new paragraph below the pic.

Any thoughts? THANX

You fancy doing some coding manually? Go into the HTML view and have a look at the code. You should find the <IMG> tag around there, and it should look something like this:
Code: [Select]
<img src="path/to/file.jpg" alt="Alternative Text" width="100" height="100" align="left">

Make sure that the last attribute (align="left") is present in the tag - doesn't matter where so long as it's within the < and >.

If you do have it and it's still not working, check to see if the following is at the top of the document:
Code: [Select]
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
If it is, delete it or (better yet) replace it with the following:
Code: [Select]
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

    tfburke....Do you have a "table" on your page template that you put the pic into or are you just randomly inserting it where you wish?
    I am using FP 2000 and I just tried what you are trying on one of my pages and it works with no problem .
    Have you tried setting the background as transparent ?

    let us know

      It looks like that works. I still had to move things around a bit. I could only LEFT it to make it work.

      Many thanks for your help!!!
