hi experts,
i have a situation where i have to display data from database to my system. The problem is each of sentence will have a point icon and the second line of the sentence is place under the point icon. i want the second line of the sentence placed under the first word of the first line.
I have attached image for the situation below
Here is my code:

<table>
<tr>
<td valign="top"></td>
<td valign="top">   <img src="diari/oren.png" width=10> <%=rs_event("masa_mula")%> - <%=rs_event("tajuk")%><%=rs_event("tempat")%></td>
</tr>
</table>

I hope you can help me on this. Thank you.

Some notes on your markup

1. Tables for layout is not considered good practice and in this case they are limiting you.
2. The tag has been deprecated - you should be using CSS to style your elements.

You probably want to be using <li> for this as it handles automatic indenting of your content when the line wraps.

Take a look at the code below for a comparison between your code and using <li> and CSS

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
ul.event-list {
  list-style: none;
  margin: 0 0 0 15px;;
  padding: 0;
}
ul.event-list li {
  background: url(images/oren.png) no-repeat left top;
  font-family: Arial;
  font-size: 13px;
  font-weight: bold;
  padding-left: 15px;
}
ul.event-list li span {
  font-family: Verdana;
  font-size: 10px;
  color: #008000;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table>
  <tr>
    <td valign="top"></td>
      <td valign="top"><br/>
        <font face="arial" size="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="images/oren.png" width=10>&nbsp;<b>9:30 AM - Mesyuarat Jawantankuasa Sidang Pengarang Sains ke-40 - Telesidang</b>
        <b><font face="Verdana" size="1" color="#008000">bilik mesyuarat D37</font></b></font>
      </td>
  </tr>
</table>
<ul class="event-list">
  <li>9:30 AM - Mesyuarat Jawantankuasa Sidang Pengarang Sains ke-40 - Telesidang <span>bilik mesyuarat D37</span></li>
</ul>
</body>
</html>

Hello,

Thanks for the screenshot. So referring to that, are you wanting "D37" to appear directly below "Mesyuarat" or "9:30 AM"?

Based on your HTML, both 9:30 AM and Mesyurat... are in the sam table cell.

list-style-position is the property you are looking for. It works in all browsers. (see MDN for more details)

ul {
list-style-position: outside;
/* You may want to add an additional padding-left: */
padding-left: 1.5em;
}

You can just add id on table and add this properties:

<table id="alingtext">  --- add id to table
#alingtext img{margin-left: -20px;} == add css
