Text and pictures...

[chiba]

Hello!

I'm a Dreamweaver rookie. My problem is this:
I insert a picture and want to add text above and
to the right of the picture. Above is ok, but I can only add one line of text to the right of it and the the cursor is under the picture. (the cursor gets as big as the picture).

Also wonder if you can put a layer (or link them toghter) into another layer. And then to move thme you only have to move one the get all to the same place??

How do I do this??

You could try using tables. Put the image in the left cell, and the text in the right-hand cell. HTML would look something like

<TABLE>
<TR>
<TD>
<IMG SRC=&quot;images/apicture.jpg&quot;>
</TD>
<TD>
Here is the text describing the picture
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>

Also, if you're just wanting to wrap text down the side of an image:
[ul][li]place/select the image, [/li]
[li]then in the Properties tool bar, there is a drop-menu called "Align" - click that and choose either Left or Right, depending on which side you want the image aligned[/li]
[li]your text will then automatically "wrap" itself down the side of the image. This works in 4+ browsers.[/li][/ul]
As for the layer in a layer movement, the answer is yes. You can embed a layer within another layer and have them move simultaneously. When you move the layer, make sure you are moving the outside layer so that it will automatically move the embedded one. This also can be done so that both IE AND Netscape 4+ support it. (Netscape is pretty particular about how it interprets layers though...)

Hope this helps!

THX both of you, you solved the Picture/Text problem for me, THX!

As for the "embed a layer within another layer", how do I embed a layer into another? They only why I can get it to work is to copy one into the other, then it works. Is there any other way to do it?

That way works fine, or you can go into the code view and use the Insert Layer command from the menu twice. It should automatically set the second one inside the first that way.

Good luck!
