Hi everyone,

I've been stuck on this for HOURS and I'm hoping someone could point out what exactly the problem is.

If you goto http://www.your-adrenaline-fix.com/hist … cross.html you'll see a rotating image.

The problem is that I can't get the paragraph just below the images to fill the space to the right of images.

If anyone could kindly chime in on this, I'd be most appreciative as Im at a loss as to why I can't get the text to fill the space to the right of the image.

Any help will certainly be appreciated and I thank you all in advance.

Hiya Stuart,

If you float your image slider left that should fix that. You will most likely need to put a little padding or margin in there so the text isn't right up against the slider, but it shouldn't be too horrible to do. Here's a page on a cat site I created that might help give a little guidance. Take a look at the source code in your browser (right click and choose view source...) and also check the style.css file for the tags to help you out. You can view that by clicking the css/style.css link in the head towards the top of the source code.

Hi Stuart,

While Jo Ann was typing ( ;) ), I also had a look at your code. It seems that you have to do a bit more than just floating the #slides. You also have to give it the same width (400px) as the slide container. As it is now, it is covering the whole space where the text should be.
I also removed the #paragraph from the p tag as it is now redundant, you don't need it any more.

See the attached file.

JoAnn and Enger Elk I thank you both very much.

Enger Elk, I'm very glad that you took the time to show me exactly what I needed to do as I can tell you both without even looking at JoAnn's example that I would have still been lost had you not spelled out
exactly what to do.

CSS and PHP just leave me scratching my head.

I'm going to be studying the whole course at W3Schools on CSS now but I Thank You both very much for your help.

Wishing Y'all the Best...

Oh and JoAnn... Now I guess you know what the site is that I was trying to keep undercover with the goo.gl url's ;)

Thanks too Inger, I totally missed that width setup. :)
