Thank you, CalGal.

608. CalGal - 11/14/1999 5:17:10 AM

Dusty,

Understand I just guess at this. But consider that table align=left then takes the following text and moves it to the left. Any text. It doesn't know from posts.

So I wouldn't use the align tag unless I had text that was going to wrap around the table.

Pelle

The original link is mesed up. Try this instead.

610. dusty - 11/14/1999 5:20:24 AM

And a close table doesn't change that? I have much to learn.

611. CalGal - 11/14/1999 5:21:36 AM

No, the close table is what starts the wrap. And I just learn this as I go along--it was Soup that started me on the right track. I'm a lazy coder, quite frankly.

612. CalGal - 11/14/1999 5:22:28 AM

Oh, wait.

But consider that table align=left then takes the following text and moves it to the left.

The text following the table. Not the text in the table.

I am also a lazy tech writer.

is this better?

615. CalGal - 11/14/1999 5:35:58 AM

Looks great, no unsightly spaces, no wrapping.

616. JJBiener - 11/15/1999 1:14:28 AM

This is a test

617. JudithAtHome - 11/15/1999 1:16:33 AM

Great! It worked....

Dusty:

That Dec.5 book signing is at Harbor Center in Annapolis, MD and not the Inner Harbor, Baltimore, MD. Alas, I was looking forward to the possibility of meeting my first Motie in the flesh. Oh well.

619. Dusty - 11/15/1999 8:44:12 PM

Ooops, sorry. That's not particularly close. Although I should get to Annapolis sometime.

MSN wants a description. I'll work on something, but I want feedback before I submit it. Lycos specifically notes that it does not use Meta tag info, while Altavista specifically does. (I can resubmit after we add the meta tag data.)

(Testing here, just to make sure I don't screw up the table again.)

621. dusty - 11/16/1999 2:20:25 AM

OK?

624. Dusty - 11/16/1999 9:04:09 PM

Yikes, what am I saying? Target="new" doesn't work for images.

What you want is the width command.

Width="xxx" where xxx is no greater than 425

Tell you what, I'll remove 622 and 623, and we can start over.

625. Schehezarade - 11/16/1999 9:09:19 PM

Thanks Dusty!

I can see the photo, can you? I know it's enormous, but I'm still not sure how to reduce it.

627. Dusty - 11/16/1999 9:14:16 PM



Here is the command (With an extra space so it will display, not execute)
< img src="http://earthstation1.simplenet.com/wwiipics/Hitler_Gestures_2_jk.jpg" width="300">

628. Dusty - 11/16/1999 9:19:50 PM

Alternatively, if you want people to see the entire phote, but don't want to mess up the thread, use the following command (removing the two extra spaces):
< A HREF="http://earthstation1.simplenet.com/wwiipics/Hitler_Gestures_2_jk.jpg" Target="new">< IMG SRC="http://earthstation1.simplenet.com/wwiipics/Hitler_Gestures_2_jk.jpg"WIDTH=150>
