  • html help

    I am seriously at the end of my rope, and need some help.

    I'm the webmaster for a local Chicago charity, and I am the first to admit that I'm not the most knowledable about coding webpages. The charity wants to add captions to the images on this page (http://www.animalsforawareness.org/gus.html, and I don't know how to do it without totally screwing up the text paragraph flow. I've tried doing it with tables, I've tried doing it with tags...

    I just.. don't know what I'm doing wrong, and I'm grumpy and frustrated, and I'd worship anyone that can point me towards a workable solution. :/

    web pages <> printed text.

    There is probably a way to do it with excessive amounts of work, but they are trying to use a printed paradigm in a non-printed format.

    If you are using a fixed table width, it would be possible with juggling to use a table layout to reproduce the caption format:

    [ blah ]
    [pic+caption][more blah ]
    [blah ]
    [ still more blah][pic+caption]

    But that relies on the viewer having the same font, same operating system and same web browser as you do to look right.

      Actually, what you want to do is pretty simple.

      You need to make the main page a table, which it looks like you have done.

      Then, in a cell of the table, you creat a second table that has space for the picture, and a second space for the text.

      Private message me if you need more help.
