    Hi guys,

    I’m sitting at starbucks working on my bike website and I’ve hit a major wall to say the least.

    My bike site reviews beach cruisers and I do one per post. Every post page has a bike picture at the very top and left justified so the text flows around it.

    Here’s my issue:

    I’d like to put an amazon buy button right below it but it just will not format correctly.

    Here’s the form code:

    <form method=”GET” action=”http://www.amazon.com/gp/aws/cart/add.html”&gt;
    <input type=”hidden” name=”AssociateTag” value=”gui031-20″/>
    <input type=”hidden” name=”SubscriptionId” value=”[*********************]”/>
    <input type=”hidden” name=”ASIN.1″ value=”B00838DDZ0″/>
    <input type=”hidden” name=”Quantity.1″ value=”1″/>
    <input type=”image” name=”add” value=”Buy from Amazon.com” border=”0″ alt=”Buy from Amazon.com” src=”http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/associates/add-to-cart.gif”&gt;
    </form>

    If I put the code right after the picture coding, it pops up to the right of the picture. If I place it within the post somewhere else, this buy button literally has 7-10 lines before it (before the last paragraph) creating a big ugly white space.

    I’d like to put this add to cart picture/form/link right below the picture of the bike on the main page. Anyone know of a way?

    Here’s an example..,. “http://www.beachbikereview.com/ladies-beach-cruiser-bicycle-rover-gx-review/

    Notice the big white empty space above the buy button, notice how in the coding its right after the big picture but appears to the right of it. I also put the form within the bike pictures html and still doesnt work.

    I’m in desperate need of help

    Thanks

  • There are several things going on — first is that the image uses “alignleft” which means it it floated left — so text flows around it on the right (basic CSS). There are also extra paragraph tags in that section. The form is in a paragraph tag — and that looks like it is causing the big gap. So try fixing those and see where things are.

    so would I basically put in front of the form <alignleft> and then close it off after the end of the form?

    And for the paragraph gaps,

    are you talking about going into the .css file and changing the form field settings?

    just wanna make sure im on the right track before I do this

    Thank you so much for the advice, I really appreciate it

    No, take the alignleft class off the image — it will still align left as that is the default — but the the text won’t go to the right of it. Then see if you can just remove the extra paragraph tags in the html editor. See if there are any margins or spacing or sizes in the form settings…as they may be creating the large space above the form.

    BTW, cool site. Looks like you already fixed a lot of the problems? I figured you must be in California — if Starbucks is open now! LOL! I spend many hours there myself…I’m in the Bay Area.

    Might want to remove your subscription id (and other info above) to Amazon before someone spoofs your site with this info.

    I’m still cranking away on it, I found a way to do it with negative margins which came out looking pretty good.

    I can’t figure out a way though to make the text wrap around both the bike picture and the “buy” button right below it.

    Ideally I would like to have the bike picture on the top left and the buy button right below it centered with text wrapped around it.

    Any thoughts?

    That’s awesome! Which starbucks? I was at the one across from the hyatt in union square a few weeks ago. I love it out there… gorgeous. I can’t get anything done at home or in hotel rooms so I always head out to Sbucks! lol

    how do i remove or change information on that first post?

    Add

    modlook

    to the tags on right and request to remove the data…but this site is indexed on Google every minute or so…change your security setup now on your cloud. It has been revealed.

    k i did the modlock thing,

    what is my cloud? and what security information

    I’m sorry, I didn’t realize I did that

    Amazon?

    like my amazon password, or just my subscriber id?

    I killed the subscriber id and made a new one

    what else can I do? sorry, I really didn’t mean for this to happen.

    so my password for my wordpress blog? mysql database? amazon acc or all?

    Thank you for the help

    If you did that, you then will now keep the associated form data out of public view I hope.

    Yes, I have learned my lesson and I feel like a complete idiot.

    Would you recommend changing all passwords for my wordpress blog? mysql database? amazon acc or all? or any?

    also what can someone do with that info?
