Let me try this way: has anyone wrapped adverting text around the <%description%> in the detailed.html template?

I tried doing a layer but it will not wrap around the text.

Thanks for any help on this.

What exactly do you mean by wrapping advertising around the description?

Well, to do that you'd need to float an element left or right for text to wrap. However, that might be a little harder to do if you don't know what exactly is in the description tag.

Can you give us a URL for one of your detailed pages so we can see (visually) what you're trying to achieve?

Cheers,

At this url I added a left float and the ad into the Description form.
http://freezone.ssan.com/...s_Small_1289483.html

Code:
<table align="left" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td>
<p><SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="http://www.ssan.com/dad/Pet_Supplies/images.php?gid=5&style=non_ssi"></script></p>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p><b>sku# 030157702373</b><br><b>Manufacturer: Advantage Series™ Cages</b><br></p>
<p>10 1/2 inches tall...2 level Small Animal Home with accessories&quot;Hamster, Gerbil, Small Rodent &quot;</p><ul><li>14 x 11.5 x 10.5</li><li>6
</li></ul>
I would prefer to have it done template based or global so the ad could wrap the text instead of having to do it for each and every addition. I have tried all types of floats, Dhtml, java scripts all kinds of things the end results is no wrapping around the text.

<%include ad%><%Description%>
Would be the perfect solution if the ad would wrap the description text.

Something simple like this would do the trick:
Code:
<div class="float: left; width: 200px; height: 200px">advertising goes here</div>
<p>link description goes here</p>
The thing is that you need to specify the width and possibly height before the description can wrap around it.

Thanks for the reply - but that requires you add the div for each and every link description. I am looking for a template or global version for fast changes.

Say I have 500 links and each one I add a description, then have to add that div box for the ad, if I need to change the entire ad section from 200x200 to 120x240 - I would have to change the 500 descriptions individually. As its stands you can place an ad above, below or to the side but nothing so that will automatically wrap the description.

Anymore suggestions?

Ok this is what I came up with -- But there has got to be a better way?

/*------------------*\
|* Advertising * |
\*------------------*/
div.item {
float: right; border: 1px solid; padding: 5px; width: 300px;
}
div.item img {
float: right; margin: 5px;
}

======================================================
In the description form I added
Code:
<!-- Start of Header ticker Code -->
<div class="item">
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="http://my_domain.com/ajaxtabs.350x250_style.css" />
<script src="http://my_domain.com/ajaxtabs/ajaxticker.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var xmlfile="http://my_domain.com/ajaxtabs/350x250.txt"

//ajax_ticker(xmlfile, divId, divClass, delay, optionalfadeornot)
new ajax_ticker(xmlfile, "ajaxticker1", "someclass", 4500, "fade")
</script>
</div>
<!-- End of Header ticker Code -->

External tagging is the question????

I created a template called 300x250 - when I added the <%300x250%> to the article using the Description form:

blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah<%300x250%>
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

what I get is what you see - so its my thought LinksSQL is viewing the Description form as an external tag?


Here is a live page: Example Page using that ajaxticker.js instead of a template.
Thanks for any more a suggestions
