I try to align an image (a logo) with a text in two lines

  • 0

I try to align an image (a logo) with a text in two lines (the title of the website and a short description).

I try to do this HTML code :

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="fr-FR" lang="fr-FR">
    <head>
        <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
    </head>
    <body>
        <div id="site">
            <div id="header">
                <a title="Retour à l'accueil" href="#"><img width="40" height="40" title="mon logo" alt="mon logo" src="images/logo.png"/></a>
                <div class="title">
                    <h1>Mon site</h1>
                    <div>mon sous-titre avec des g et des p</div>
                </div>
                <div class="switchlanguage right">
                    <a href="#" title="english site"><strong>english</strong></a>
                </div>
                <div class="clear"></div>
            </div>
            <div id="content">
                <p>homepage</p>
            </div>
        </div>
    </body>
</html>

with this style.css :

    padding-bottom:20px;
    border-top:1px solid #ccc;
    border-bottom:1px dotted #909090;
 }

But in IE7, the letters p and g is cropped.

    In your css here:

    #header div.title div {
    font-size: 1.8em;
    line-height: 0.917em;
    height: 1em;
}

    Increase your line-height – this should fix it. The exact value will require some testing and depend on your design.

    You might also, want to wrap your text in <p> tags instead of <div> tags, as you did somewhere else in the code – just for semantics!
