Border/Cellspacing Question

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Dec 03.2005

Hi All,

I’m currently working on a page where I have an image that appears in the upper-right hand portion of the main content on the page, and the content flows to the left and then underneath the image. The image is in a separate table. I’d like to create some space between the left side of the image and the content, and also the bottom of the image and the content, so that it doesn’t look like the content is running into the image.

Is there a way to do this without using CSS? I’ve played around with the ‘border’ and ‘cellspacing’ attributes, but I can’t figure out how to get them to only appear on the left and bottom of the table. When I use them on all four borders, the image is no longer aligned with the content text.

Any input appreciated. ?

Thanks,
Sam

@WebFreedomauthorDec 03.2005 — To be honest, I don't really know CSS, and this is the final step I need to complete in order to upload my site. I did go through the w3schools.com CSS tutorial and tried to implement it in my code, but I couldn't get it to work. I'm not opposed to learning CSS proper at some later time, but for right now, I really just want to get my site (and others) up and running.

If CSS is as simple as you make it sound, could you provide me with a few lines of code (I'm assuming that's all it would take) that I could use to accomplish the task?

Thanks either way, and thanks for the feedback.

@NogDogDec 03.2005 — Quickest solution I can think of is to add a style attribute to the image tag in question:
<i>
</i>&lt;img src="foobar.gif" alt="logo" width="200" height="100"
[color=red]style="margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"[/color]&gt;

(This is using in-line CSS, so you'll then be able to claim you use some CSS on your site. ? )

That did the trick. Thank you. ?

PS I tried to add the <blink> tag, but it didn't work. And now my cat is dead. ?
