HTML - Wrapping Text Around Playlist Widget

For some strange reason if I want to have an ad or image on the left of my text article usually i put a div code around whatever it is like..

Code:

<div style="DISPLAY: block; FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 0px 0px">

</div>

This works GREAT in firefox but then i was shocked when i went over to Internet explorer and tested my site there using the latest browser.. it doesnt acknowledge that code and so the ad or the image ends up being above my article instead of nicely on the left and the text wrapped around it on the right like you see in firefox

Any ideas how to get around this? Maybe a fix that works for ie. and firefox?

thank you guys and gals in advance

Hi there

Anyone know how to force a long piece of link text to wrap on to the next line. Only seems to be a problem in FireFox. Here is the offending page:

By the way, the content is generated by the client via content management, otherwise I would stick in a <br />.

Thanks,

Hello what is the HTML code for text wrapping,

As whenever I put a html banner link to amazon, it puts it on the next line down

And I would like it to appear at the side of text.


So what is the html code for text wrapping?

Thanks James

Hello,

I have a drop down menu where one of the items is EXTREMELY long, and because of this, the overall size of the drop down box is the size of this item. I found a way to shrink the size of the drop down box via:

<style type="text/css">
select {height: 12px; width: 50px; max-height: 12px}
</style>


This works in shrinking the overall size, but what happens is that the really long item is now longer than the width of the box and the text for the item doesn't wrap around down to the line below. So you don't actually see the whole item in the list.

Do you know how I can wrap this item so that the text falls down to the line below?

Cheers

Hi all,

I tried posting this under the CSS forum, but didn't get any answers, so I'm hoping for better success here.

I don't know if this is a common issue or not, but it's giving me fits. I am trying to make an in-house employee directory for my company. It is a simple design, with the individual's picture displayed on the left of the page and their name and contact information flowing around it to the right of the image. When I use "float: left" in the style sheet, or even align="left" as an attribute in the img tag, it works beautifully in FF. But IE7 seems to want to make the image the same height as the first line of text, and only shows that much of it. If I use no formatting instructions, FF still displays it properly, but IE7 now displays the full image with the bottom aligned with the bottom of the first line of text and the remaining lines of text (each is produced with a br tag) below the image, rather than wrapped along the side. Unfortunately, although I like FF, my company uses IE7, so I need to find a solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The problem page can be viewed at:

The style sheet is at:

Thanks for you input,

I'm making a form that contains three places for the user to enter text. The first two are for taking only one line of text, but the third is a bigger input for taking in multiple paragraphs of text. The trouble is, I can't get this third one to wrap the text!

Is there a way to turn word wrapping on for an input bar? Or should I be using a different form element?

I've found some help here already, so thanks in advance to the good folks that help us novices.

I have just a couple that need addressing, but they're pretty important to me, so hopefully someone can spell them out.

I'll explain them below but here's a quick rundown first:
1.) Wrapping text around a captioned image
3.) A pop-up text bar when a link is moused over.

1.) When I'm posting an image, a caption is almost always necessary. Here's the code I've been using for the image and caption:
"<table class="image">
<caption align="bottom">CAPTION</caption>
<tr><td><IMAGE LINK></td></tr>
</table>"
But when I post like that, there's a break between paragraphs to show the image, which disrupts the reading flow. I need a code that will let me post an image, add a bottom-aligned caption, and still have the story text appear alongside the image.
NOTE: I've been shown the "align=left/right" code, but where do I insert that in the code listed above?? I've tried right before and right after the image source code, but to no avail. Help, please!!

2.) I'm willing to spend hours to learn this one. Somebody, somebody has to know how to do this one. It's done on this site!
OK, here it is.
You mouse over a post listing, and a text bar appears next to the cursor. In that bar is the first few lines of the person's post.
HOW IS THIS DONE???
For someone looking to find new ways to boost hits on a news site, this is a priceless gem. If anyone knows how to do this or something similar in HTML, PLEASE let me know.


Thanks in advance to each and every person who reads this, and a special thanks to those who take the time to help. It means much.

I know there are multiple ways to do this, but I'm just interested in the easiest possible way. I want to create a video playlist in which I can have a video player combined with a playlist either on the left or the right in which each video in the playlist has a (perferably automatically) generated thumbnail. The playlist could be xml or whatever, just pure html or flash. I'm assuming it would look the best using flash with FLV video. I've seen numerous tutorials on sites such as adobe on how to do this using Macromedia Flash Pro but they are too complicated. I just want to enter the links to where the videos or hosted. If it can't be that simple, I'm just looking for the most simplistic and easiest method possible. Thanks to anyone patient enough to read and respond to this.

I am attempting to embed my Imeem playlist. I checked the "autoplay" box before embedding. Everything works out, but it does NOT autoplay.

Any help/suggestions is/are appreciated.

I can supply you with whatever info you need to help me.

Thanks!!

I've been told frames could possibly cure this but i have no clue what they are or what coding to put

any help will be well appreciated!

Hello,
I am looking to add a weather widget to my website. Basically the website has several 100 profiles which all have a different city and country. I was wondering if there is a widget that I could add into these profiles which automatically find the weather update of that profile according to its city and country and if possible also display climate information for the year.
Any help?
Thanks,
Sunny

Hi folks,
I'm trying to achieve something in a wordpress widget, but no good result so far.
Please have a look at the image.

And cant separate social icons on bottom without using a table.
I'm coding it with normal html, no css.

Can you please help me out?
