HTML - Inline Image With Caption
I am a newbie in HTML. I would like to be able to display an inline image with a caption (that just display inline as a big character). I have googled a lot but found no satisfying solution. Any suggestion for that?
Similar TutorialsI am new to html, but I am using layers to define regions on my page. In one of my layers, I wish to add an image and then put a caption below the image. I would like both the image and the caption to float and the rest of the text to flow around them. Must I use a table to do this? I can successfully make the image float, but I can't make a new layer with the caption text float. I'm sure this is a common thing to do, but I can't figure it out, and I would like to avoid a table. Thanks in advance for help. Hi I'm still a newbie to HTML coding hence i would most appreciate your assistance. I'm writing a few articles for my site and making use of images in my pieces. However, i'm having alot of problems aligning the caption just right in the middle under the image. I would also like to add a hyperlink to the caption to open in a new window. I've tried numerous tutorials on the web but still cant get it. Would most appreciate some advice. Thank you In a nutshell: --- The following <li> tags are inline-blocks. Why does removing the closing <li> tags fix the whitespace issue? Code: <li>Item one</li> <li>Item two</li> <li>Item three</li> Versus... Code: <li>Item one <li>Item two <li>Item three The context of this question: --- From: CSS display: inline-Block: Why It Rocks, And Why It Sucks The above post is about using inline-block instead of float to position <li> elements, which is useful for making navigation bars. There is one drawback to using inline-block: (You can copy and paste the first piece of code below to see what I'm talking about.) If you restrict the <ul> to a particular width, your navbar won't display correctly, which has something to do with hitting the RETURN key between your lines of code (whitespace issues?). See below: This works fine because there we didn't hit RETURN to create a line break between each list. <li>Item One</li><li>Item Two</li> Here, we hit RETURN to put each list on a separate line and now the code doesn't display properly. The first piece of code below illustrates this problem. <li>Item One</li> <li>Item Two</li> The second piece of code solves this problem by using comments to remove the whitespace. The third piece of code solves this problem by removing the closing <li> tags. My question is, how does removing closing tags change anything? Are there any issues I should be aware of if I use this solution? Are there other contexts where I can apply a similar technique? Code: <style type="text/css"> ul#display-inline-block-example, ul#display-inline-block-example li { margin: 0; padding: 0; } ul#display-inline-block-example { width: 300px; border: 1px solid #000; } ul#display-inline-block-example li { display: inline-block; width: 100px; min-height: 100px; background: #ccc; vertical-align: top; } </style> <ul id="display-inline-block-example"> <li>Item one</li> <li>Item two</li> <li>Item three</li> </ul> Code: <style type="text/css"> ul#display-inline-block-example, ul#display-inline-block-example li { margin: 0; padding: 0; } ul#display-inline-block-example { width: 300px; border: 1px solid #000; } ul#display-inline-block-example li { display: inline-block; width: 100px; min-height: 100px; background: #ccc; vertical-align: top; } </style> <ul id="display-inline-block-example"> <li>Item one<!-- --><li>Item two</li><!-- --><li>Item three</li> </ul> Code: <style type="text/css"> ul#display-inline-block-example, ul#display-inline-block-example li { margin: 0; padding: 0; } ul#display-inline-block-example { width: 300px; border: 1px solid #000; } ul#display-inline-block-example li { display: inline-block; width: 100px; min-height: 100px; background: #ccc; vertical-align: top; } </style> <ul id="display-inline-block-example"> <li>Item one <li>Item two <li>Item three </ul> Hi: The table caption for my one-column table of 'submit buttons' is too close to the vertical column of buttons, and I have a 1px solid black border around this table. Question: How can I 'push' the table body down a bit so that the caption is well-separated from the table body itself ? Thanks, -Mel Smith hi all, please refer my attachment files that i want to create a group box with caption on top left and middle position of top border line. It look perfect in IE and Firefox but not in chrome. Can anyone show or guide me how to make it look fine in most of the browser? Thank you Or Javascript if it's the only way http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/captions.htm http://www.jorycordy.com/lifestyle/ Hi all, I've created a table which looks fine (apart from the border) I need to be able to change the colour of the caption which doesn't look possible. How can I make this table look exactly the same whilst being able to change the the caption colour? I'm not currently using CSS. Cheers in advance Hi all, How to change caption "Browse.." of file field? Is their any shortcut to give inline css in Dreamviewer ? Since I am using Dreamviewer & I have to write Inline CSS explicitly & there is streachable facility in the control so that we can stretch & its appropriate width & height can be assign to its component ? Since I am getting it in dreamviewer & if any body knows how to do it then please let me know abt it ? Regards.... Which doctype doesn't allow for inline? Right now every line break in my code, IE creates a space in the tables. How do I get rid of this? Thanks, Alec This question might be rather basic. I'm not a web-developer, though I have a lot of other coding experience. As part of an internal webpage I'm creating, I want to access a webservice that returns a string and display it on the page. The service is accessed by URL, and requires parameters that are dynamically generated base upon the request parameters, so I can't just use #include. What I want to see is something like this, where the number string is provided by the webservice: Authorization code: 1343-7205-7570-8264 I tried this: Code: Authorization code: <object type=text/plain data="http://blah/service?params"></object> IE doesn't output the resulting string. Firefox does output the string, but it's not cleanly inlined with the rest of the text. It has it's own big block of the screen that the text sits in. Is there a simple way to insert the text from a dynamically generated URL into the current page? I have display:inline and its adding in two drop boxes that it shouldnt. After the drop boxes it then stops the inline. Im new to css, have only been trying it for the past couple of days. The two drop down boxes are suppose to be on the left, under the links at the top. Can someone explain to me why inline stops where it does? Thanks. Oh yeah, the links under <li> I know their to the wrong address's. body { font-family:georgia,'times new roman',times,serif; color:#BD0A70; background-color:#F2F2F2; } ul.navbar { list-style-type: none; padding:0; width:32em; float:left; } ul.navbar li { display:inline; font-size:125%; background-color:#007BA7; margin:.10em; } ul.navbar a,ul.navbar a:visited { color:#ffffff; text-decoration:none; } ul.navbar a:hover { background:#00008B; } form.jump { /* position: absolute; */ float: left; } div.floatright { /* position: absolute; */ float: right; } h1 { clear:both; font-family:helvetica,geneva,arial,SunSans-Regular,sans-serif; } ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"> <html> <head> <title>My first styled page</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="mystyle.css"> </head> <body> <a charset="ISO-8859-1"> <!-- Site navigation menu --> <ul class="navbar"> <li><a href="index.html">Change email</a> <li><a href="musings.html">Change Password</a> <li><a href="town.html">F.A.Q.</a> <li><a href="town.html">Contact</a> <li><a href="links.html">Log out</a> <li> </li> </ul> <form class="jump" action="/reredirect.php" align="left" method="post"> <input type ="text" name="userpage" size="17" value="Jump to user page" onFocus="this.value=''"> <img src="cooltext406694699.png" align="absbottom" onmouseover="this.src='cooltext406694699MouseOver.png';" onmouseout="this.src='cooltext406694699.png';" input type="submit" value="Submit" name="submit"></img> </form> <div class="floatright"> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- /* 234x60, created 11/22/08 */ google_ad_slot = "0343255875"; google_ad_width = 234; google_ad_height = 60; //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script> </div> <!-- Main content --> <table> <tr> <td> <form method="post" action="/redirect.php" name="event"> <select name="select" class="breakinline" onChange="this.form.submit()"> <OPTION SELECTED>Select friend <OPTION value="/users/sharon">name1 <OPTION value="/users/carrie">name2 <OPTION value="/users/capy">name3 <OPTION value="/users/charla">name4 </SELECT> </FORM> <td> <form id="myeventz" method="post" action="/changeevent.php" name="myevent"> <select name="myevent" class="tabletxt" onChange="this.form.submit()"> <OPTION SELECTED=>12/25 Christmas</option> <OPTION value="0101 Event One">01/01 Event one <OPTION value=" 0202Eventtwo">Remove this event <OPTION value=" ">Add a new event </SELECT> </FORM> </td> </tr> </table> <p>Select item's to remove</p> Hello everyone, I have a problem and it is driving me insane :/. I am trying to create 3 inline boxes (using span or div?) that are right next to one another (ie. with no borders). The two at either side are of length 25% and the middle is of length 50%. Here is my effort at coding it myself : Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> <style> body { word-spacing: 0px; } .sideWrap { top: 0px; width: 25%; height: 100px; background-color: #0CF; display: inline-block; } .sideWrap2 { top: 0px; width: 25%; height: 100px; background-color: #0CF; display: inline-block; } .center { padding: 0px; margin: 0px; left: 25%; width: 50%; height: 200px; background-color: #0F0; display: inline-block; } </style> </head> <body> <span class="sideWrap"></span> <span class="center"></span> <span class="sideWrap"></span> </body> </html> But unfortunately, this produces ... something I dont want .. as shown by the attachment. This clearly has inexplicable white borders that I have not coded :S, and the three blocks are not inline. Can anyone give a simple explanation as to how to put these in line and eliminate the border between them? Thanks in advance, mintsmike Well, i'm not sure i'm gonna use this snippet but i can think of plenty reasons why i might: Code: <h4 style="display:<?php print $display; ?>"> It won't validate because, quote: "character "<" is the first character of a delimiter but occurred as data." Maybe i've been staring at it too long but i don't see the difference from any other php statement, which the validator should simply not parse. ?? Thanks, Joey I'd like to open an inline frame on my site. I've got the code this far; however I cannot find out how to finish it. I need to knowhow to get it to open at a certain spot on the page. So like an example would be I want it to open at spot x on a page. How would I code this to open it at that spot? Code: <html> <body> <iframe src="default.asp" width=125px height=125px></iframe> </body> </html> OK I have a home page that has several inline frames. All the action happens in one of the frames in the middle. Now what I want is when they click on a link in this main pane it loads the new page in said frame, but moves the browser back to the top of the parent frame, which is still home.html. The site I'm working on can be accessed at http://www.awardworks.com I tried using an onLoad with a java function that performs: window.scrollTo(0,0); but this didn't work I am designing the home page for a website. I have a list of links that is the site index that is 300px wide. I want this on the left side of the page. I want a paragraph that will basically be a introduction to the website to be inline with the index... sitting to the right of the index rather than below it. here is a simplified version of what I have: <body> <div id="wrapper"> <div id="head1"> <h1> page title </h1> </br> </div> <div id="list" <ul> <li> <a href="perps.html"> blah</a> </li> </br> <li> <a href="Why.html"> blah </a> </li> </br> <li> <a href="surveillance.html">blah </a> </li> </br> <li> <a href="me.html"> blah </a> </li> </br> <li> <a href="network.html"> blah </a> </li> </br> <li> <a href="mystory.html">blah </a> </li> </br> </ul> </div> <div id="intro"> <p> ***paragraph text****.</p> </div> </div> </body> CSS sheet: #list { width:230px; padding: 20px 0 0 20px; border-style: solid; list-style:none; } #intro { border-style:solid; float: right; padding: 0 0 0 0px; margin: 0 0 0 300px; border: 0 0 100px 0; } I know i need to use "span" but I have no idea where to start. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Hi, i've been banging my head against the wall trying to find a solution, and have eventually given in..! I'm creating an html email that has an image in it. Easy When that email is received and the user prints, it replaces the image with another more print friendly version. Easy using media:print in a style. However, when the user then replies to the email, all of the <style> in the <head> is wiped and the large un-printer friendly image remains. The only solution would be to put all styles inline within the <body>. So the question..! Any ideas how to replicate this process only coding within the body? thanks, J I am trying to create a pop-up window from a link that is within an inline frame. I know the code I am using is correct as when I place the link outside of the inline frame, it works perfectly. It is when the link is placed within the inline frame that it acts up - it opens itself like a regular link within the frame (except that all my pages have frame break on them so it just works to open the page within the same window). This is the code I am using for the frame in my head section... <SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript"> <!-- function popup(mylink, windowname) { if (! window.focus)return true; var href; if (typeof(mylink) == 'string') href=mylink; else href=mylink.href; window.open(href, windowname, 'width=1000,height=700,scrollbars=no'); return false; } //--> </SCRIPT> and this is the script I am using for the link itself... <A hREF="news.html" onClick="return popup(this, 'notes')"><img align="right" src="news.jpg" border=0></A> This is my website I'm testing this on: www.kingsfieldfarm.net/index3.html The lower link (outside of the inline frame) works. The link inside the frame does not. Can anyone help me? Thanks! (and PS: Does anyone know how to centre the pop up window and get rid of the address bar?) Here's my code: Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>MyTitle</TITLE> <STYLE type="text/css"> .quanswer { border:1px solid #00c; } .quanswer img { margin-right:5px; cursor:pointer; width:20px; } .text { display:inline; color:#bbb; background:#000; } </STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <DIV class="quanswer"> <IMG src="graphics/qucheckbox_normal.png"> <DIV class="text">Agree</DIV> </DIV> <BR> <DIV class="quanswer"> <IMG src="graphics/qucheckbox_normal.png"> Disagree </DIV> </BODY> </HTML> It references a 20x20 PNG image but you should get the idea wiithout such an image. All I want to do is make the text vertically-aligned to halfway up the image. Centralised, in other words. I've been trying to do it by adding a bottom margin to the text, or by adding a negative top margin to the image, but nothing works! I've got a feeling I'm forgetting something really obvious... Please help, Seymour. |
