Thanks Dave,
I tried that one, and the results were "interesting". I reverted to the
<table> method (I should have thought of it earlier, seeing that I had just
used it in the lines just before [go figure!], but my mind was too frazzled
to see it.
Now I've got the text sitting nicely beside the pix, but no matter what I try
(i.e. <td cellpadding="5"> or whatever, the text butts right to the left
margin, and won't format nicely -- it looks, in three words "ugly and
unprofessional". It offends my typsetting days!
Is there any way I can set the margins for the test, in particular, the left
margin?
Code is now:
print "<br><td bgcolor='#ACE'><table border=0><td align='left'>
<td cellpadding='5>'<img src='709-2585.jpg' width='120'
height='120' alt=' '/></a></td>
<td bgcolor='#ACE'><td cellpadding='5'>{$_SESSION['desc']}</td>
</table>";
Any ideas?
Tia,
pAndre
