    I'm coding a web layout for my first time and I've been running alright except for this one problem. I had everything set-up like I wanted, but then when I started to add text in the middle, the right-side image moved over and I don't know how to fix this. I'm sure an experienced coder could help me out here! THANKS

    Here is what I'm dealing with. I have a feeling its something to do with the set-up of my table. It looks like the text is pushing the picture out, but that's not the case as the picture was pushed out even when I only had the Welcome up.

    What I would do, is add a css code:

    #content{ width: 600px }

    (or however you want it before it moves the image).

    Then where you want to enter text put this at the beginning: <div id="content"> and this at the end: </div>

    E.g.:

    <div id="content">"Lorem Ipsum dolor sit amet etc. yadayada etc."</div>


    Hope that helps.

    As well as if you are using a Style sheet...

    A lot of factors

    Explain everything and you will get more help. =P

    Sounds like you missed a <div> in there somewhere though.

    Use something like ES-Computing EditPlus2 or a coding program and it will help a WHOLE Lot... if you aren't already. I suggest EditPlus 2 though, I use it constantly.

    I could help with the coding if you could provide the code. You can remove all image links if you'd like. I believe it is a syntax error judging from the image but I cannot confirm this without viewing the code. I am a freelance web designer by the way (though I only accept commissions from friends ^.^) :-)
    The possible problems (judging from the preview image):
    - the stylesheet that applies for that section may have a syntax error OR the values for the content properties were entered wrongly
    - the tags around that section may have a syntax error (misspelling of variable or tags not opened/closed properly)
    - insufficient properties set to restrict the positioning of the related content

    Try to look at the possible problems step by step and see if you can find what went wrong. By the way, I self-learn web design and coding so I am no where near -----. I am giving advice based on experience so please don't punish me if my suggestion don't work >.<
