HTML - Text Wrapping In Long Links

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?

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,

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

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

Hi. I've been trying and failing at wrapping text around a mixpod playlist widget. [The widget is in a draft post I'm working on in a blog, not installed as a sidebar gadget.] I'm not technical, and the widget is "flash" technology which befuddles me even further. Fiddling with <div> and "align" codes, I was able to type in text next to the widget, but only in the editor page of Blogger...once I previewed or published it, the text appeared below the widget.

I would very much appreciate anyone's ideas. The widget code is:

<embed border="0" flashvars="mycolor=5C1400&amp;mycolor2=baac8f&amp;mycolor3=450101&amp;autoplay=false&amp;rand=0&amp; f=4&amp;vol=100&amp;pat=0&amp;grad=false" height="382" name="myflashfetish" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" quality="high" salign="TL" src="http://assets.mixpod.com/swf/mp3/mff-nano.swf?myid=76126179&amp;path=2011/01/26" style="height: 382px; visibility: visible; width: 165px;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="165" wmode="transparent"></embed>

Thank you.

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 am trying to display some long text in a <PRE> tag to preserve formatting. When there is really long text in a <pre> tag, part of the text is not displaying on the screen when you scroll over. All of the text is there when I do a view source, but on the screen part of it is hidden and only shows up when highlighted with a mouse. I am not sure if there is some kind of character limitation in PRE or what but I just cannot figure this out. And like I said, this only happens in IE. Works fine in Netscape/FireFox

Here is the html if you want to look at it yourself in a page. If you scroll over, you can see the "|" display only up to 3900 and then they are hidden:


<pre>0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 110 120 130 140 150 160 170 180 190 200 210 220 230 240 250 260 270 280 290 300 310 320 330 340 350 360 370 380 390 400 410 420 430 440 450 460 470 480 490 500

Hi everyone, I hope I have posted this in the right area. This is my first time posting here. I currently have my main pages listed at the top of my site as graphics (see fussybaby.ca). I would like to potentially remove these graphics and use text links instead - I had the graphics designed for me, so I can't just go in and make new ones, however I'd like to change/rearrange the links and add some new ones.

So my question is: How hard is this to do? Is this something I need to hire someone to do for me?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

http://www.gouramidesign.com/portfolio.aspx#webdesign

See that website, how it opens a lightbox type of thing, but wth the image on the left side and then a text on the right side ?What scripts does that website use?

I currenty use prettybox, a jquery script, but I dont want to JUST display images, io want to have a website portfolio and thi sis EXACTLY what I've been looking for!

Ok, so I've made a site for my Dad's business but one thing is really starting to **** me off, when I rollover text hyperlinks I can put my mouse between the text like if there's a "n" i can put my mouse like inside the n and it won't go to the hover and underline properly, it only underlines once I've put my mouse on the actual text, and it just doesn't make any sense... (www.garlandsails.co.uk) go to the narrowboats page and if you rollover the links on that page you'll see what I mean, any help is appreciated,

Thanks,

Jack

Hi, I'm designing a web page that contains two frames. One of these frames contains some text and when I click this text, I want it to open a new web page in each frame. As far as I can tell, this means giving two links with two different targets to the same text and I've tried wrapping the text with two <a> tags, but to no avail.

My current pages look something like this:
Quote:
This is the HTML code for my frames page:
<html>

<frameset cols="42%,*">
<frame name="table" src="table.html">
<frame name="image" src="image.html">
</frameset>

</html>
Quote:
This is the relevant code in table.html, the page that contains the text which has to open a link in each frame:
<a target="table" href="1.html"><a target="image" href="Images/project_Page_01.jpg">This is supposed to open both links</a></a>
I've tried with having only one or both closing </a> tags and neither of them work. What happens is only the first link, 1.html, opens in the "table" frame. The second link is completely ignored. I might be doing this completely wrong but I'd appreciate any help or pointers as to what I should do to fix this.

Thanks!

I just need a basic code for this. For what I presume is basic anyway.

On MySpace, I'll insert links, and MySpace will automatically make it a hyperlink, but won't allow you to visit certain links that you click on. How do you prevent it from being a link and so that it's just text? I thought <nohtml> worked, but apparently it doesn't exist.

Would help me out loads, thanks,

Sam/.

When I place links on my bands myspace page the link text displays on the page vertically instead of horizontally on some computers. It displayed correctly (Horizontally) on the PC I created it on, but when i view it on other PCs the text was vertical.

Here is the page. It's the white text near the top. (Add To Friends, Send Message etc.)

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm...ndid=445328869

or www.myspace.com/theengineersband1


Here is the code for the links.
I am a beginner with HTML.

Thanks,
