Posted: 11/30/05 7:57 am text/pic positioning in sig
Hi, brand newbie computer moron here. Need help getting my sig to display the way I want. I have seen others like this...
I have a picture, and some text to go with it. I want the pic to show at the left, and the text to display to the right of the pic, not below it. How do I tell it to do that?

OK, I looked at the HTML basics info...But you are assuming a knowledge and understanding level that I just don't have. I need to be led by the hand here. Total...computer...newbie. From reading the HTML basics, it sounds like I need to turn my sig into a table with two cells- one on the left containing the pic, one on the right containing the text.
I have no idea how to write the code for this, nor where this code is to be entered- it doesn't look the same to me as the thing I typed into the sig Launch Tool.

Just a few more hints, then I'll give it a shot! First, where do I type this code in? The sig Launch Tool?
Second, if I want the text at the left side of its cell, do I replace the "text-align center" with "text-align left"?
When I type in the code, do I remove the quotation marks around the address info and such?
And lastly, do I have to type out a separate, complete line of code for each line of text, or can I use the command? (several short lines, song lyrics)
Oh, one more (sorry). Do those commands ( , EzCode Parsing Error:]color=whatever, and the rest, work with this?

Signatures can be in html or ezcodes but not both, so use the code in the area provided for signatures but ensure that you choose the HTML option.

Yes

You should not have to touch those quotation marks, they are part of the HTML.

Use
<br>
if you want to include a line break within the text, just keep typing the text you want in one sentance and use
<BR>
where required to seperate things.

Rats! *Bangs head on desk* This just keeps getting more complicated! Now I'm mad- I'm gonna do this if it kills me. *hyperventilates* OK, so if I can't use ezcodes with HTML, how do I tell it font colors? Also, is the code for line break lower case or upper case (br or BR)?

Tip: Read the HTML Basics FAQ Topic, it tells you nearly everything you want to know to create a signature..
e.g.
<font color="color or color code">This is the color!</font>
or
<span style='font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; color: red; font-size: 100%'>Verdana red text medium size here</span>
