So I have a code that uses "friend left" which works, makes the image go left and obey the other rules set for that marker in the code, but there's no designation for the text, so it looks like this: here Any tips on how to make this... not a complete mess? XD In BBC code I would make columns, but I've never seen a columns httml code, so I'm guessing that it doesn't work like that?

Likely you will need to put clear: both in there somewhere. But I'm having a hard time deciphering the code when pulled from the page with Chrome. Can you share your code so I can help you out?

sure! You keep coming to my rescue tonight haha

FRIENDS:

ABSOLUM

The things my books didn’t prepare me for, was how she would make friends so readily (I had always thought dragons unsociable, but it turns out that they like their own close friends, just not so much the rest of the world), that she would be so ready to work (she is always running errands for people, mainly the Wizard; I always thought dragons above simple labor), and that she would be enraptured by the idea of bringing home a Zentu. A decision we both now regret, though I regret it more often than she does.

As soon as she first set foot in Shengui Guo, she was enamored with the Zentu. They’re everywhere in Shengui, hauling farm stuffs to market, getting their nails painted in local salons, discussing the news in deep husky voices on street corners. They’re the laborers of the city, but also a strange sort of royalty. The farmers wouldn’t be able to get their work done without them, and this city would never have been built in the first place if the Zentu weren’t there to haul timber over the mountains and help set heavy poles in the ground for their buildings, so their work is an honor, and they are honored for doing it. Which is why there’s an entire portion of the Bathhouse dedicated to them, and when Zvi found out that if you went in there and gave one a name they approved of and a satisfactory piece of jewelry, they would belong to you, she was very excited. We had to go at once, and she thought up a name, swam over to the residing Zentu and proposed it to him, he liked it, we gave him a necklace, and it was settled. Absalom was one of us now.

TORION

Our next companion was Torion. Zvi originally wanted to change his name, but we don’t have the money for the legal documentation. I told her his name is actually great because he’s a STORM Telelnine and his name is TORION which is like TORRENT and that there is, in the mythology of a world I’ve read about in my books, a god of thunder called THOR which is like TOR. She thought the “torrent” part was a bit of a stretch, but she does go around calling him “Tor” now. I asked her what she would name him if she could change it, and she thought for a moment and then said, “Probably Gudu.”

I hope “Tor” sticks before we ever get the funds for a name change. I think she’s been spending too much time in Shengui Guo.

Tor is about as easy going as they come, and though I’ve become a bit jealous of his companionship with Zvi, as he follows her pretty much everywhere she goes, it does make me feel better that she’s not out there by herself. I usually have a lot of things going on, besides working my butt off at the supermarket, and I’m not much in the way of protection when I am with her. Since she hasn’t developed, or perhaps “discovered” is a better word, any powers yet, it does make me a little nervous when she goes exploring on her own, especially seedier places. There are those who would string her up in an apparatus and use her like a well to harvest her blood. Gruesome to think about, but for those that can recognize that she’s a dragon… you can see the greedy look in their eyes. Her blood, her skin- they’re worth their weight in gold.

So despite his goofiness and naive loyalty, I do appreciate Tor being around.

PETNAME

Thanks! But I'm gonna need all of it, including what's inbetween the style tags.

ahh ok here ya go: ** edit is there a text limit on here? Cuz it won't let me post it. here's a pastebin: here

Thanks! (I know it doesn't show up but I got it from quoting you.) For some reason Chrome deletes all the spaces and it was giving me a headache trying to figure out what goes where. XD I'mma fiddle around with a bit and see what I can come up with for you.

Just so I understand: you basically want the friends to alternate with the first one with the picture on the left and the text on the right, and the next one with the picture on the right and the text on the left, and so on? (With no overlap, ofc.)

[Edit]Is this what you want? https://subeta.net/petinfo.php?petid=5995765

yes! essentially. I would just do one paragraph next to them and then the rest without columns beneath, so I can avoid scroll bars.

Are you looking for this: https://subeta.net/petinfo.php?petid=5995298

Or this: https://subeta.net/petinfo.php?petid=276479

the first one! :D

Ah, well that's the easy one!

Get rid of this coding in the style tags: .friendright, .friendleft{height: 120px; padding: 5px}

Also, I noticed some funky things in your friend divs that you might want to get rid of. Particularly the first one. This is what it currently says:

You should get rid of the textright div (including its closing tag) and the left tag that has no opening tag, because currently they're doing nothing (but later they might cause problems).

Ideally, also, unless you plan on always using the closing paragraph tag, it's better to just use a double br tag. For all coding anywhere. It's not always a problem...until it is.

And you don't need a br tag after header tags like h3 because they automatically hog up their own line and don't let anything be next to them. (This one isn't as important, but I'm a big fan of not having unnecessary code.)

So instead the coding would look like:

I think that fixes everything? If not I may have changed something else and forgotten, so just let me know!

awesome thank you so much! Yeah those random tags were me trying to figure out what worked and what didn't lol. And thanks for the tip about the paragraph tag! I've always been a bit confused about the difference between that and break.

The paragraph tag is really handy if you have a section of text that you want to make look a specific way, and then you can specify in CSS how it looks. It's almost like a really mini div code, pretty much the same as .

ahh good to know! thanks again! Gonna go clean up all the paragraph tags now haha
