Who knows anything about HTML?
« on: September 13, 2012, 12:37:09 PM »
I'm very stuck on the simplest of objectives....

I'm trying to get the final 3 lines of my address and info to line up with the first line... I know I could just use <p></p>, but that causes double spacing, and I don't want that. Please help  :heart

Do you mean by centering it? Or actually on the same line?

I would suggest you use a table with zero-width borders.

I don't want to center align because they wont all start at the same spot. I want them all to start 200 pixels in without have a line break.

But how would I get that 200 pixels in?

*edit*

No need to answer that. I got this shit.

Actually, I lied. I don't. What I did just resulted in the text starting at the 200px mark. The table still starts at 1px. I need to have a pic to the left of this table, and that can't happen with my current set up. :(

Make a two-column table, and put your pic in the first column.  Have it span all rows.  All the text goes in the second column.

Thank you everyone!! That definitely shouldn't have taken me almost 2 hours to figure out  :lol Granted this is my first time using HTML, but I can't believe I didn't think of that.

It's not pretty, but it works.



*edit*

I'm trying to get my email address to actually be clickable. I can't figure it out. My code looks spot on??

<td><font size="6"> <a href="mailto:MendicinoB@gmail.com"> MendicinoB@gmail.com </a> </td>

I would strongly advise you to skip the tables. Tables should not be used for this kind of thing. It's considered bad practice.

Try something like this:

Code: [Select]
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Resume</title>

<style>
img { float: left; margin-right: 15px; }
h1 { font-size: 20px; }
p { font-size: 12px; }
</style>

</head>

<body>

<img src="linkToYourImage.jpg" />

<h1>Brian Medicino</h1>
<p>
Your adress thingy<br />
More text<br />
More text, etc<br />
<a href="mailto:MendicinoB@gmail.com">MendicinoB@gmail.com</a>
</p>

</body>
</html>
For your particular case, if you want that margin for the p-tag, don't use text-indent. Use margin-left or padding-left.
