Another silly technical question

I'm trying to show several images across the screen rather than as a single file column down the screen. I have 3 images that I'd like to butt up against each other(they fit) across the blog post. Unfortunately, I cannot get it to function properly. The "< img src= >" codes are all sequential and contiguous, and they are embedded within "< p" " / p>" codes. Any suggestions? I've even tried copying/pasting the HTML created using a WYSIWYG editor, but to no avail.

1 ok you could try sticking the folowing in the tag:

style="display:inline;"

so the image foo.jpg would look like this:



I'm not sure what that will do but it may well help!!!

2 stoopid MT cleaning out my HTML ... hang on:

You image tag would now look like this:

<___ src="foo.jpg" alt="" style="display:inline;" />

3 Unfortunately, MT doesn't seem to be cooperating for me. Images vertically aligned and ASCII images not displayable. At least, not by MT challenged little old me.

Thanks for the suggestion, though. Got any others?

4 Are the ___ tags completely squished together, like this?
<___ blah blah><___ bloo blup><___ merp meep>

Oh, and for the ASCII art, enlose it in <pre> ... </pre>

5 Pixy,

Yup, the image tags are as close as possible for a PG13 blog. I'll fiddle with a couple of other things and see if anything works.

Thanks for the ASCII hint. I'll give it a try.

6 Thanks Pixy; the ASCII art displays properly now. Made my head hurt, it did.

Still having problems with the image tiling, though. If anyone is amenable, I can email them the code. Converting the strings into something that MT comments will properly display is too much like work. :-/

I appreciate everyone's help. A lot.
