Wrapping text? Columns?

by NovaScotia September 9th 2008, 10:45 pm

Normally when posting a picture, or graphic, in a topic and adding text, the text is besides, under, or above the image.

However, I was wondering if it was possible to wrap text around an image? Also, if it is possible to do columns in a topic.

Thanks for the help!

Hello,

Wrapping text around an image is possible if you use the following html code to add your image (This requires html to be enabled in "Admin Panel / General / Messages & Email" and in your "Profile / Preferences") :

Code:: <img src="IMAGE LINK" style="float:left;" />

Instead of "left" you can also define "right".

Example:

You can create columns with the following bbcode:

Code:: [table border="0"][tr] [td]COLUMN1 TEXT[/td] [td]COLUMN2 TEXT[/td] [td]COLUMN3 TEXT[/td] [/tr][/table]

Alternatively you can also click this icon Wrapping text? Columns? Table

when you reply to a post and enter 1 in height Wrapping text? Columns? Height

and the amount of columns you need as width Wrapping text? Columns? Width

. That will create the same BBCode.

Example:

Hope that wasn't too complicated, if something remains unclear, just ask. Smile

Thank you of so very much! you have no idea who helpful that is. I figured out the columns, but I really needed the text wrapping.

Thanks again!

can you make the wrapping thing work for this

Code:: <form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"><input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_donations"><input type="hidden" name="business" value="jaymie_crawford@hotmail.co.uk"><input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Donate to Grafix"><input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="0"><input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="1"><input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="GBP"><input type="hidden" name="tax" value="0"><input type="hidden" name="lc" value="GB"><input type="hidden" name="bn" value="PP-DonationsBF"><input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_GB/i/btn/btn_donateCC_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to donate online."><img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_GB/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1"> </form>

Okay,,... so i have another problem. When I test the code here, it works just fine, for wrapping the text. However, when trying it on my own board, it's a no-go. I have HTML turned on in all places. Here's what happens.

It changes the code. It changes the "style="float:left;" and replaces it with "alt="" Any reason why and how I can stop this from happening?

@Nova: Where are you trying to place this html code?

@Cherry: Just use this code below instead. In detail, I've just added <span style="float:left;"> in front of the code, and a </span> at the end:

Code:: <span style="float:left;"><form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"><input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_donations"><input type="hidden" name="business" value="jaymie_crawford@hotmail.co.uk"><input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Donate to Grafix"><input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="0"><input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="1"><input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="GBP"><input type="hidden" name="tax" value="0"><input type="hidden" name="lc" value="GB"><input type="hidden" name="bn" value="PP-DonationsBF"><input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_GB/i/btn/btn_donateCC_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to donate online."><img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_GB/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1"> </form></span>
