Image link in XML/HTML text forces new line

[grimmylina]

Hello All,

Question, in XML, can you have an image link not force a new line?

I have this code:

<copy><![CDATA[Copyright © 2012, Hotel Lab Consultants.<a target="_blank" href="http://www.facebook.com/HotelLabs"><img src="assets/global/fb-button.jpg" alt="Facebook"></a> | <a target="_blank" href="http://twitter.com/#!/hotellabs"><img src="assets/global/twitter-button.jpg" alt="Twitter"></a>]]></copy>

on a footer for this website:

Website

I wanted to add the Facebook/Twitter icons to the footer but it is causing a new line. Can that be avoided?

Thank you

Instead of creating them as anchor tags, place them inside 3 divs as background-image and give display:inline

For eg:

<div style="background-image:url(image1_src);display:inline;float:left;cursor:hand;cursorointer;" onclick="openSite('1')"></div>
<div style="background-image:url(image2_src);display:inline;float:left;cursor:hand;cursorointer;" onclick="openSite('1')"></div>
<div style="background-image:url(image3_src);display:inline;float:left;cursor:hand;cursorointer;"
onclick="openSite('1')"></div>

You may have to adjust he width and height of the DIV to match the image size.

Also, onclick of DIV you should call a common method - openSite(siteId) - with some parameters (to determine the site), and open a window.open(site) from there.

cursor:hand;cursorointer -> will give the hand symbol while we mouseover the image (exactly like anchor tag). Need to give both to make it work in all browsers.

Let me know if it helps

I don't think I can do that....I bought this as a template so this is what my settings.xml look like:

This isn't really an XML question, it's just styling. If you set the text to display:inline, or float:left, you'll allow the image to be on the same line.

So the xml would look something like:

<copy><![CDATA[<span style="display:block">Copyright &#169; 2012, Hotel Lab Consultants.</span><a target.....

give the images id.
for example: <img id="fBook" src="..." /> <img id="twitter" src="..." />
<style>
#fBook
{
width:200px;
float:left;
}
#twitter
{
width:200px;
float:left;
}
</style>

basically you need to give them a size and float them left or right, then you can add margin-left or margin-right to position them.
