HTML - What Is The Html Code For Text Wrapping

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,

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,

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

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.

how do I display html code as text?

The page is an html document, I want users to be able to highlight and copy a piece of html code.
I have tried putting it in a text box in a form, but I can't seem to do it without the code being read as REAL html.

Thanks in advance

Hello (I am new to these forums, hope this post will be satisfactory),

I have a question and would appreciate any help, here it is:

I am building a website that has a blog (from google's blogger service) within one HTML frame. I'm looking for a way to program the site so that the blog-frame only displays a certain number of words / characters despite the amount of characters in the blog post, before it then interevenes with a "READ MORE" link which will then take the user to the full blog post.

Does anybody know if this is possible and do they have any suggestions as to how I could go about this?

Thanks, much appreciated.

I have a website where I want to make a drop down menu that will bring you to different pages. It is a very basic, sort of old-fashioned website that relies entirely on html. What I'm trying to do is make a drop-down menu that will be used as navigation for a section of a website and I want to have it in each internally linked page in that section, but I'm going to be adding more pages to it over time so I want to be able to put the drop-down menu code in a separate text file and then substitute it into the pages that I make that the options in the menu link to and then just edit the code in the text file when I add another page so that I don't have to go back and edit the code every single individual page whenever I add a new one among them.

Basically all I'm asking is how I can put html code in a text file and then substitute that code into an html page by referring to the file. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi . Here is my script

HTML Code:

<table width="200" border="0">
  <tr>
    <td><span class="style2">
      <input name="button" type="button" onclick="show('Hello')" value="Button 1" />
    </span></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td><span class="style2">
      <input name="button22" type="button" onclick="show('Goodbye')" value="Button 2" />
    </span></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td><span class="style2">
      <input name="button23" type="button" onclick="show('Good Morning')" value="Button 3" />
    </span></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td><span class="style2">
      <input name="button2" type="button" onclick="show('Goodnight')" value="Button 4" />
    </span></td>
  </tr>
</table>
<p class="style2">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="style2">
  <textarea name="textarea" cols="50" rows="10" readonly id="area">
    </textarea>

In the areas where it says, for example ="show('Goodnight')", how do I add HTML code in the brackets but as normal text? At the moment it is trying to read it as HTML code but I want it to be displayed as text. How would I accomplish this. It is probably pretty simple but I am a bit of a noob

Thanks

Html code for Text Boxes that the user writes down his details and then click to a button and his details comes to an eimail...


look an example ...

http://www.arkadiko-meli.gr/form.asp?i=2

I have several websites that I maintain and update. A lot of them are just textual changes and I would think my customers can do these themselves by editing a simple .txt file.

I was hoping my choices are avalable so that I can just insert this tag into my web pages and then give them login info to their edit page or show them how to upload the .txt file.

I hope this is an easy one with several answers.

Is it possible these tags could discipline your rankings in the search engines?

Thanks,
Jason

Hi everyone,

I've been searching around the web trying to find out how I can send using Outlook a html and text email newsletter automatically.

I am quite happy creating html only newsletters, and text ones for that matter, but I have been digging and believe that by using multi-part code I can send to both and the recipients email client "allows" whichever version to be displayed - does this sound right?

I'm hoping to simply create the html with the relevent mime references and boundaries (dont know what they are but have seen them on enough Google'd pages to know that they mean something!) and then copy and paste into Outlook - the newsletter is only going out to a few people at a time.

Any suggestions or advice would be very greatly appreciated.

Regards

Allan

Hi everybody,

I've invented a means of converting HTML to keywords.

What do you think of it?

Any kind of feedback is greatly appreciated!


Thanks in advance and kind regards
