Html word wrap?

[a_priebe47]

On my site, I have a poll with eight questions, so it takes up abit of space. I've set the alignment of the poll to the right side. But the rest of the text on my page doesnt wrap around the poll, leaving a nice big empty gap! I need to kae it so that the rest of the text on the page wraps around the poll. Help!

I'm far from giving anyone design tips, but why not put your text in a cell of a table?

[manual_overide]

nested tables?! NO! That's poor design. Use the float: CSS property to get what you want. To see an example, check out http://manualoveride.darktech.org/test/

Nah, not nested. Just a simple table with text to the left in one cell and the poll in another to the right.

yeah that would work too, but the poll is also a table. so, there would be nested tables, albeit just one. However, that is a bad design practice to get in the habit of. Many nested tables and spacers can acheive the same amazing things that a few simple lines of CSS will do.

judging from the link a_priebe47 provides in his profile, his HTML skills are rather new. Might as well start out doing things correctly rather than learning backwards hacks

More or less - use what works. This thread is heading to pointless.

Hey, it's manual_overide! How's UC?

UC's pretty good. Although the massive amounts of construction make getting anywhere on campus a real pain.

Use css. A nice floating div should do the trick. You shouldn't use tables for anything but tabular data (there are times when it is way easier to use them though - sadly).

Well, to solve my problem, I just inserted an align='right' tag into the poll tag. That fixed up the problem.
