How to put text beside an image in HTML

[KADRI]

I have a small question about HTML. I have a small site with Dreamweaver, and I'd like to put text beside a photo. My HTML knowledge is nil, and so I'm left with:

My Text
The photo below
Another Text
Again photo below it.

As you can see below.

<div id="mainContent"> 
<p align="center"><strong>This is a test to verify the behavior of the image based text. 
I'll even go a bit to write </strong> 

<p align="center"><img src="media/1.jpg" width="291" height="450" alt="" /> 

<p align="center"><strong>There will even be able to check here if the text continues to behave in a normal way or whether it has decided to shit, like any HTML worthy of the name.</strong> 

<p align="center"><img src="media/2.jpg" width="306" height="259" border="2" alt="" /> 

<!-- end #mainContent --></div>

Could someone be kind enough to explain how to get my text next to the photo?

Use <p> tag like any other, but remember that you must close it. Otherwise, you can do a lot of things in html with a <table> or <div> tag. Or with css. I advise you to watch the site http://www.w3schools.com for reference (full sample and all). You can use block and/or inline elements to display your element as you want. You can change an inline element to a block element, or vice versa, as follows:

Example:

li {display:inline}

OR

span {display:block}

There are a couple of ways to align text around an image or photo. One way is to achieve this is using the "align" attribute in standard html tags. For example:

<IMG BORDER="0" ALIGN="Left" SRC="yourimage.jpg"> Your Text

However so far as my knowledge goes right, if you do it without tables your text will appear beside the image but starting at the bottom of the image. So go for tables.

Thank you for this precious site, problem solved with a simple class =floatright already included in the header () HTML file.
