    Hello,

    I seem to be having some CSS troubles (while not entirely ignorant of CSS, I’m still a newb ;) )

    I have implemented text and graphics onto the following site (plz note this is a joomla site):

    http://www.thereishope.ca/get-to-know-u … rship-team

    with the following html and css:

    html:

    HTML:

    Code:
    Pastor-Seeon-Smith
    Reverend Seeon Smith (Senior Pastor)
    Pastor Seeon graduated from Vanguard Bible College in 1999 with a Bachelor of Theology degree and a zeal to see the Kingdom of God grown in the city of Edmonton. As he considered what ministry he wanted to pursue, he quickly realized that Edmonton needed a church that was specifically reaching out to non-traditional families, marginalized people, the poor and those that just didn’t fit into the typical church environment. Pastor Seeon founded New Hope Christian Assembly on June 1st, 1999. Pastor Seeon is supported in ministry by his wife, Deborah Smith and 4 children, Nathan, Desmond, Seeon Jr. and Akeema.

    elva-sneed
    Elva Sneed (Fellowship Team Leader)When you think of church food and entaining, you have to think of Elva. To say that she has faithfully served is a gross understatement.

    CSS:

    Code:
    .fltlft

    {

    float: left;

    margin-right: 10px;

    margin-bottom: 10px;

    }

    .profile

    {

    clear: right;

    overflow: auto;

    }

    .fltrt

    {

    float:right;

    margin-left: 10px;

    margin-bottom: 10px;

    }

    As you can see on the page it is a little out of whack.

    What I am wanting is for the leaders bios to be next to the images and the bio images alternating from left to right.

    If you anyone could advise me on how to do this I would greatly appreciate it.

    Thanks,

    Matt

    You will need to do something like this:

    <img floated left><p>Bio</p>

    <clearing div>

    <img floated right><p>Bio</p>

    <clearing div>

    etc etc

    The floating images, without clears are what are causing the jumble to occur.

    Doc,

    Thanks for replying so promptly.

    Could you elaborate a bit more on how I can get the end result of what i am looking to do.

    For instance, how should I code it.

    I’m not sure what you mean by:

    <clearing div>

    Should I simple use inline styling for this instead of external styling and float the image and add the clear property?

    If so what would this mark up look like.

    I really appreciate the help.

    Thanks,

    Matt

    Sorry, I should’ve been more thorough! Here’s what I would do:
    HTML

    Code:

    Person’s Name

    Their bio….

    Person’s Name

    Their bio….

    Person’s Name

    Their bio….

    CSS

    Code:
    .bio {
    clear:both;
    }

    .bio img.left {
    float:left;
    margin:0 10px 10px 0;
    }

    .bio img.right {
    float:right;
    margin:0 0 10px 10px;
    }

    By putting the "clear" on each div, you shouldn’t have the overlapping trouble (though I did put this together in a few seconds, so I may have overlooked something). Obviously you need to add your own styling to everything, etc, but that should help ya get on your way.

    A <br> in this case won’t necessarily do it.
