[Pro] Text Running Around a Graphic Box

If you look here: http://k923.net/ccas_review/index.html

I’m just trying out a few things. The text in the box needs to run around the graphic white box, but doesn’t seem to do it. These are all html boxes.

The graphic white box is drawn in the yellow text box. How can I make the text go around the white graphic box?

Thanks.

Like this? http://www.deltadesign.co/odds/boxinside.html

The graphic is inserted in the run of text (inline) and then the alignment of the graphic set to suit how you want it to appear in relation to the text. Options are Top, Text Top, Super etc. etc and Left and Right.

My container uses the CSS3 corners action for its curved corners and there is some margin on the white graphic to keep the text at bay.

I did that, but it just keeps pushing the box down and doesn’t go around the box.

To get the text to do that you need to use Left or Right as the alignment setting. Anything else will give you various results, but not full run around.

I did that. But, the box I want things to run around never seems to be where I want it. Then, I add text and somehow things get messed up and I wind up with a big “X” in my box and everything is gone and I have to revert to get everything back.

Start with the text box first. Insert the box in the run of text where you need it, then align.

OK. I’ll try that.

This is all in the testing stages yet, so I’m still figuring things out.

My designer (aka girlfriend) likes to keep me on my toes.

We both come from a print background and she gets frustrated if I can’t do something she’s designed in InDesign.

I’ve come pretty darn close, though, most of the time!

Welcome the wonderful web!

The simple analogy is that a bit of paper has fixed dimensions whereas the web doesn’t. Try painting a picture onto the surface of a pond and that gives you some idea of what you can be up against.

Good analogy!
