I sell a lot of amazon products on my site and I would like to add text descriptions next to the html image that I'm getting from amazon. The new image html is long and wastes a lot of space. Is there a way to include text right next to it?

Here is an example of what I'm talking about

<img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
Place the ad and your description in a table list this.

Place the code for the Amazon ad in the first table cell. Copy and paste from the beginning iframe � to the ending iframe code.
(I had to leave out the iframe code in the example below because the message board will not let me post the complete iframe code. Don't forget to copy the complete iframe code)
The Amazon ad is 120 pixels wide and you have aligned it to the left of the table cell that is 130 wide. This will give you a small empty space between the ad and your description.

Your description goes in the second cell. I have made the description to be center vertically in this cell but you can make it start at the top by changing the valign code in this table cell from valign="middle" to valign="top"

The two <br> put two blank lines after the table. That's optional.

<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="500" border="0">
<tr><td align="left" valign="bottom" width="130">
iframe � /iframe

</td>
<td align="left" valign="middle" width="370">

Diane,

Thanks so much for your help. I will try that in the future. I need so much help with tables. I just don't get the whole thing. Do you have any content or can you recommend a site or book for someone who is not good with technical stuff. Too me html is really difficult. I had the dummies book but I hated it. Any advice?
