I wanted to create a template in which the [Description] and the [Images_vertical] are side by side -- with [Description] on the left, and 3 images ([Images_vertical]) on the right.
This seemed to be impossible to do in the design editor, so i decided to use html, to create a table within the table, and to put [Description] and [Images_vertical] in separate columns in the same row in the table, and with a 2nd row with extra text to show successful placement, like so...

<table border="1">
<tr>
<td>[DESCRIPTION]</td>
<td>[IMGS_VERTICAL]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>row 2, cell 1</td>
<td>row 2, cell 2</td>
</tr>
</table>

then i hit Update and the result is that my html code seems to be interrupted strangely: after Updating, the [Description] and [Images_vertical] tags are again placed side-by-side outside of the second table, my placement row ("<tr><td>row 2, cell 1</td><td>row 2, cell 2</td></tr>") has been completedly eliminated from the code, and there seem to be extra table rows above the [Description] and [Images_vertical] tags now...

How do i achieve the simple side-by-side layout i desire?

Thanks,

Kragskov

Hello all,

This is much simpler than you would think. Whether you want to use an exsisting template or one of your, either way it is the same. The caveat here is that you are just trying to use normal (400x300 sized images).
Insert the tags you want except that I want you to only insert the tag "Description and Images" instead of any other number of tags you can insert for these. Save your template. Then when you are creating/editing a listing select the "change template" button. Find the templte you created by looking under the category "Custom", "Select" this template. In the following page,"Template Layout", look to the left hand column under the section "Customize Layout". Here you can choose the number of images to use, the grouping of those images(you will choose vertical for what you are after), then in the drop down box next to "Alignment" you will select "Right". This will give you the desired layout without having to do all the coding yourself. Let us know if you still have problems.
