Hi Guys,

Wondering oif someone could help with my layout please

In my layout I have some text that I call out of a database. I then want the text to align alongside two div elements, but I can't get it to work. I want it like this:

http://www.slougheaz.org/example.jpg

<style>
.pic_float_right {
float:right;
border:solid 1px silver;
padding:5px;
margin-left: 5px;
margin-right:10px;
margin-top: 10px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}

.video_float_right {
background-color: #F5F5F5;
width:200px;
display:inline;
float:right;
border:solid 1px silver;
padding:5px;
margin-left: 5px;
margin-right:10px;
margin-top: 10px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
</style>

[/html]

<div class="video_float_right"><img src="images/camera.png" />View Video</div>
<div class="pic_float_right"><img src="images/person.jpg" /></div>
<p><?php echo nl2br($body_text); ?></p>

Thanks

Hello stfc_boy,
You just need to add clear:right; so the floats won't float next to each other. Like this: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta name="" content="authored by http://nopeople.com/Design" />
<style type="text/css">
html, body {
background: #CCCCCC;
}
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
border: none;
}
#container {
width: 760px;
margin: 0 auto;
overflow: auto;
background: #66CCCC;
}
.pic_float_right {
float:right;
clear: right;
width:200px;
height: 200px;
border:solid 1px silver;
background: #00FF00;
padding:5px;
margin: 10px 10px 10px 5px;
}
.video_float_right {
background-color: #F5F5F5;
width:200px;
height: 200px;
float:right;
border:solid 1px silver;
padding:5px;
margin: 10px 10px 10px 5px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container">
<div class="video_float_right">
<a href=""><img src="images/camera.png" />View Video</a>
</div>
<div class="pic_float_right">
<img src="images/person.jpg" />
</div>
