Question

I have attached an image here and added the parameter align='right' to the <img ... command. Though this worked in Cairo, it does not seem to be working in 4.1.2 (that is, the image is always left aligned). The exact command I used is

<img src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/Birthday_gift.gif" alt="Birthday_gift.gif" width='240' height='200' align='right' />

• To test the right alignment of the image:
  

What could be the problem ? Why is the align command not working in 4.1.2 ?

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

Seems that the image is aligned correctly in Firefox, but aligned wrong (left) in IE.

No idea if what is causing this, I'm afraid (could be a browser issue, an issue with the img tag, or a css override issue ..).

According to http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/present/graphics.html#floating the align attribute for the img tag is deprecated.

The page has a few deprecated examples and an example of how to achieve the alignment through styles instead.

The answer on why it works in one TWiki version and not in another is probably to be found in the PatternSkin stylesheets.
