And thanks - for both bits of information. I get the digest, and didn't
see the response about negative margins. Still playing with that.
I had actually tried the <BR> thing, but I was hoping that there might
be a more CSS-ey way of doing it.
But I still have the problem of the vertical images not being centered
in their divs.
Here is my HTML code:
<div class="imageRight">
<img src="./200706_SWV/20070610_0015_thumb.jpg" alt="Islands" />
<p>A couple of the islands in the Malaysian Archipelago (see text)
</p>
</div>
And my CSS:
div.imageRight {float:right; margin-left: 10px;
margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 10px; border: 3px #000000
solid;}
div.imageRight p {font-size: 8pt; font-style:italic; text-align: center;
width: 150px; margin: 0; padding: 0;}
div.imageRight img {padding: 0; text-align: center; margin-left: auto;
margin-right:auto; margin-bottom: -.5em;}
I tried putting "text-align: center" in the img rule instead of the autos,
but neither one worked.
Any suggestions?
thanks,
andy
