simple layout question

Michael

Hi,

I have the following:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtm11/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en">
<head>
<title>crap</title>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;
charset=ISO-8859-1" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="./inline_style.css"/>
</head>
<body>
<div class="box1">
<img src="./king.jpg" alt="box1"/>
</div>
<div class="box2">
<p>
box2 some text
</p>
<p>
some more text
</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>

and my stylesheet is:

..box1 {display: inline;
}

..box2 {display: inline;
}

..box1 img {display: inline;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
}

Why does the "box2 some text" and "some more text" not appear next to the
image? Does <pnot inherit the inline from <div>?

Regards

Michael

Have you tried {float: [left/right]}?

It doesn't.

If you add

p {display: inherit;}

or

p {display: inline;}

then the <p>s are inline.

If you look at the "Full Property Table" in Appendix F in the back of
CSS 2.1 it tells you which properties are inherited.
