<p> = no divs inside - So how to make an image move up or down.

[foolios]

As far as I understand it. You can't place divs inside of paragraphs. Not sure why as paragraphs are block elements, I thought only inline elements could not have divs(block elements) in them. I may be mistaken.
So if I have a paragraph of text and an image within a footer. How can I control the location for the height and width of the image in the paragraph?
From what I understand height does not work in inline elements. So paragraphs must be inline somehow but act like block elements?
Well, here's the link to the page so you can see what I am referring to. The images are in the footer at the bottom. Thanks so much in advance.

html code:

  <p class="footer"><span id="cntrfootertxt">Site design<img 

src="images/valid_xhtml.png" alt="Valid XHTML 1.0 Strict" height="31" 

width="88" /><img src="images/valid_css.png" alt="Valid CSS!" height="31" 

width="88" /></span>

css code:

.footer { float: left;
/*clear: left;*/
margin-left: 7px;
padding-top: 0;
margin-top: 0;
/*border: solid 1px;*/
width: 806px;
height: 59px;
color: white;
background-image: url(../images/footer.png);
}

#cntrfootertxt { padding-left: 160px;
padding-top: 30px;
}

You could use the .footer class to align an image

.footer img {
float: right;
width: 88px;
height: 31px;
}

will make an image right aligned and 88x31 pixels wide.

Don't forget you can use margin/border/padding too.
Even though it takes me a while to think of layout as being more controlled by style rather than by the mark-up, I find that with a little patience, CSS can do just about everything I want it to.

Thanks guys. I tried the .footer img {} with floating and it allows me full control of the image now.

So now the problem I am having is with the text next to it. I can't seem to control the height of that paragraph of text inside the footer.
I tried .footer p {} with margin-top and padding-top but to no success.

Thanks so much.

You can't put a div inside a p right?

I was just thinking I can go with absolute positioning. I will try that for that footer text.

That worked! Thanks guys!

A paragraph is one or more sentences that deal with one thought. It doesn't make semantic sense to insert a block-level element like a DIV or a list or a table inside a paragraph.

Thank you for that. I appreciate the instruction.
