Remote Control "Image Alignment" Examples

Return to Link Manager Help Manual

This is the result of choosing "align=right" when you put an image link into one of your Remote Control web site pages. The text flows around the image with very little interruption. This makes it very easy to place the image almost exactly where you want it in relation to the text that you've already typed into your page. The actual insertion point in this case was immediately following the second quotation mark above. But since that point was not the right most part of the page, the browser had to delay placement until it detected the corrct location. This paragraph begins with the same image, this time with the alignment set to left. It's easy to see that image alignment can have a profound effect on even simple web pages like this. The next image uses center or default alignment. With an image like the ones shown above, you might wonder why anyone would want to use default alignment. Unless you use special techniques, like tables, to isolate the image from the surrounding text, alignment=center can look strange. But you're the best judge of what will look best for your viewers. This iscenter alignment topalignment bottomalignment With a short image like the one on the following line, you can enter text on both sides of the image without causing displacement. The trick is to match image height to the size of the font you're using (we used an image with a height of 10 pixels to match the default font size which is 3). The image alignment that works best for us in this case is bottom So notice that we have better control over horizontal placement and with careful sizing of the image, we can use alignments like center, top and bottom very effectively. (generally not wise to mix alignments when putting multiple images on the same line).
