Problem with news

[Hermoine22]

Hello

I have been going crazy lol trying to figure out how to align my avatar in cutenews, i know its not really a hosting question but i am running out of sources the support fourms at Cutenews are bad, so i thought id ask here if anyone would know

My problem

I want to align my avatar to the side of my news, so it goes fully to the side not just on the first sentance, i have to specify that in templates where the avatar will go by using {avatar} now i added it over here but it wont work here is my code.

<div style="text-align:justify; padding:3px; margin-top:3px; margin-bottom:5px;">{avatar}{short-story}</div>

all i can tell you how to do is make it like:

_______
|--------| Text
|--------| Text
|______| Text
............. Text
............. Text
............. Text

pretend the ....s arnt there...

you would have to make a table, and then put in rows <td> and align the avatar in the center of one row and the text to the left in another

Yeah someone else showed me they did that but it messes up my whole page when i tried that

i think you had the tables set to auto-stretch

you goto make the <table> the specific length of the spot in which you are placing it...

this is the code i tried
<span style="float: left;">{avatar}
<td width="100%" style="text-align:justify">
<font style="font-family:georgia, verdana, arial, sans-serif; color:#666; font-size:14;">{short-story}</font></td>

try

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td width="100" valign="top"><span style="float: left;">{avatar}</td>
<td width="5" valign="top">&nbsp;</td>
<td><div style="text-align: left;"><font style="font-family:georgia, verdana, arial, sans-serif; color:#666; font-size:14;">{short-story}</font></div></td>
</tr>
</table>

fill in the width="<size of text+avatar on site - 100>" with what it asks for
