How do i modify my template to make it longer when necessary?
Hello,
At present i'm intending to use the attached code snippet to form a template for adding blog entries on my site.
However, because some blog entries will be much longer than others i would like to know how this code can be modified so that i can add another image and several lines of text e.g.
<img style="float:left" src="someimage.jpg" />
<p>Some more text</p>
<p>Some more text</p>
<p>Some more text</p>
So perhaps initially the template would start with just the above (1 pic & several lines of text) and then i could click a button to 'add more'...
Hope you understand me & many thanks for your help

<p>Some text</p>
<p>Some more text</p>
<p>Some more text</p>
<img style="float:right" src="someimage.jpg" />
<p>Some more text</p>
<p>Some more text</p>
<p>Some more text</p>
<img style="float:left" src="someimage.jpg" />
<p>Some more text</p>

That code should stretch to fit the content. There is nothing there that restricts height in any way.
ASKER
No, but as it stands the template would only allow 3 images to be added - what if my blog is long enough to encompass 5 images and supporting text - surely the template would be restrictive?

Fair point well made, i guess i'm asking how i can build a dynamic template that can be of any length - following the structure laid out above... depending on how much i have to write about a particular place.
There's probably an easy solution for this that i have yet considered :p

How will the template be called? What scripting environment will you be supporting?

My form uses the WYSISWYG FCKeditor:
http://www.fckeditor.net/
.. with which it is possible to create and use templates:
http://docs.fckeditor.net/FCKeditor_2.x/Developers_Guide/Configuration/Templates
.. supporting these integrations (presumably scripting environments) pref. php or javascript:

Okay, now we're getting somewhere.
When you use the Template button on the toolbar, does it overwrite the existing contents?

ASKER
Yes. When you select a template it overwrites the existing contents, even if this is another template.

I need to learn to start off with something simple and gradually increase the complexity. I'm not going to use a template for the time being just hardcode what i need, marking up the images that i need.
