Hi, k back to my 2col 3row table. I want to put a image in 1st row that is colspan across both columns.
Then i want put content(text) next to it and for that text to not only flow from top of cell next to pic but also underneath the pick 3 or 4 lines. Align is depricated, valign doesnt work, float left doesn't work. So believe I have an alignment problem, but such a simple proble has got me baffled. Sad

.
Maybe it's a position=absolute problem....don't know.

Code thus far;

<body>
<center>
<table border="15px" cellpadding="3px" bgcolor="#FF6600"/>
<td colspan="2" style="height: 225px" />
<img alt="red 1987 corvette" src= corvette.jpg"/>
<tr></tr>
<td style="width: 300px" height="170px" class="img1" </td>
<td style="width: 300px" height:170px></td>
<tr></tr>
<td style="width: 300px" height:170px></td>

<td style="width: 300px" height="170px"> </td>
</table>
</body>

You can't stick an image and text in the same cell without some type of styling to get what you want. By default elements will align top left unless otherwise styled. Since you don't want a stylesheet the alternative is inline styling.
