[On Par]

If you want to place a .jpg in among text and have the text wrap around the pic, say to the left of it, how would you accomplish that?

2. This uses CSS

But CSS is really the only way to go nowadays.

It's a great site.

3. I don't advocate putting formatting tags in HTML

But if you must, here's what you'd write:

<img src="image.jpg" align="left" />

align="left" will put the image on the left, the text on the right. There's also align="right". The align attribute is deprecated in favor of CSS's float property.

4. use float in the style tag

of any element you wish to have text wrap around. For example to have text wrap around an image floating on the left do this:

<img src="yay.gif" style="float:left;">blah blah blah

All the text AFTER the image will float around it. Text before it may depending on how you deal with <DIV>s etc. To stop something from floating, like to keep the next text from floating, because say its a new paragraph or whatnot add the attribute clear:both. Like so

<img src="yay.gif" style="float:left;">blah blah blah
<p style="clear:both>This wont float</p>
