ok, clearly i'm doing something very wrong.

the goal is to insert an image into my stories and be able to keep it flush right and have the caption under the image.

when i try to insert a 2 row table, align it to the right, upper row with image and bottom row with caption the story text either writes over the image or the table forces itself to take up the entire width of the story.

the only option i've found is to insert an image with the text photoshoped into the image. this is both time consuming and looks sloppy.

any suggestions or help would be appreciated.

thank you.

take a look @ the desired effect i'm looking for (using the photoshoped text into image work around)

Hello,

I don't think you are doing anything wrong at all. The CSS has a table setting for the width to be 100%. Just override that code with a new style.

Example:

Code:

<p><table style="width:245px" border="0" align="right"><tr><td><img src="/img/group.jpg" alt="" width="245" height="157"></td></tr><tr><td>Outreach Commitee Co-Chair Glenn McNitt, left, offers a few pointers to North Country advocates-in-training.</td></tr></table>In preparation for UUP’s annual political action campaign, the union’s Outreach Committee is traversing the state, holding training sessions to educate members on the best ways to advocate for the state university and its academic and professional faculty.</p>

Thank you,

Good! I am glad I could help.

I do see that you have strange characters (union’s ) probably from coping from word. I like to paste into notepad first to strip formating and then format in Drupal.

edit. Wow, I didn't notice how old this post was... =)
