     I'm having trouble with the sf4m front page. I can't get the text not

     to appear right of the image on the main frame. This is happening in

     Netscape, I'm not sure if it is occuring on explorer. If someone knows

     the answer to this, please e-mail me the right thing to do.

     Thanks a lot.

         It looks ok to me in Microsoft Exploder (version 4.0).

         (Too late to be of use:) F'ing HTML! The problem I find with it is
         that it's

         a Text Markup, not a Page Markup, Language: this may be your
         bug-bear as well

         (combined with a varying browser pane size). Every item is
         considered an

         element in a line of text, regardless of height, so it's difficult
         to force

         things to go exactly where you want. However, it sounds like all you
         need is a

         after the image to force the text onto the next row (note that I

         avoid the word "line!")

         Are you writing your own code or using a page designing utility? The
         latter

         probably gives you a better chance at getting the desired result.
         You might

         try using a tag, but I couldn't get that to work all the time
         either!
