nudging images

Hi,

I'm having a bit of difficulty with image placement.

I know about aligning an image to text but how do you move an image to exactly where you want it? Say your first image comes more than halfway down the page and it's the first tag in the code, how do you get it halfway down the page? And also, how do you move it just incrementally up or down or left or right once it's there, how do you nudge it slightly up or down or left or right to the position you want?

I'm pretty sure it's pretty simple but I'm having some trouble with it.

Appreciate your time,

Rischen

Basically its just your hspace and vspace. Take a single pic and play with the numbers. Align the text around it.

Guys, thanks. I really appreciate your time. Nagasree, I appreciate your offer and might have to take you up on it Very Happy

Frank, thanks a lot, that really helped me get an image where I wanted it and it's something I'll use now.

Problem is I've got a background and by using vspace and hspace to get that image where I wanted it, it's made the background turn into a sort of tiled wallpaper that repeats itself again if you scroll down (if that makes any sense). And when I now place a second link image below that it goes right down to where the background repeats itself.

Basically I've got my index page with a background and nothing more and then a group of href's that link to other pages in my site and those href's sort of fit into the background and come about halfway down one under the other.

It's this sort of thing if you guys could take a look at it.

You know, it's that kind of thing and I want to get those image hrefs to where they're supposed to sit on the background. How do you go about that? sort of levering an image around to where you want it without it turning your background into a neverending scroll! Smile

I really appreciate your help.

Good luck with your own projects,
