Lack of ending double-quotation mark. It should be:

<img src="sth.jpg">

BTW, you can replace the <img> tag by <div> or <span> tags, with id and/or class attributes, and then control the image URI from inside of the CSS file (using background-image property), instead of encoding it permanently it in HTML.

Then attach your the real code...
We need to be able to see what you see on your browser's.

Did you try float: none etc. ?

https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_float.asp

It controls whether the next section (in your case paragraph) after the image will be on the right, left, or below etc.

Also worth trying, if you have not already, clear and overflow properties in CSS:

https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_float_clear.asp

https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_overflow.asp

You need to show the HTML code (the actual HTML code).

You need to show the CSS code you are using.

Otherwise how can anyone help? They can only guess what the problem might be. Maybe you have a syntax error in your css code. Maybe you have specified the target paragraph wrongly. Are you using an editor that checks the syntax of the html and css code?

(And, as an aside, it would be polite to acknowledge answers to questions and let people know if they helped or not. Just moving on to another questions without a "thank you" or any sort of reply to answers might eventually make people unwilling to help you.)

Because you are doing something wrong.

That code works correctly for me: both paragraphs have blue text, and changing the definition of 'top' in the css file changes the style of that paragraph.

Maybe the problem is that "top" is a keyword in css. Some browsers might have a problem because of that. Maybe. You could try changing the name of the class.

Something went wrong here:

But that isn't relevant.

Also, you should use relative URLs for the css file and images. Otherwise, when you move the file somewhere else (e.g. a web server) it won't work.

Google chrome.What did you use??

Safari, Chrome and Firefox

So I am completely baffled by this.

By the way, you said: " i am unable to style paragraph which comes just after img tag" But that is obviously not the problem as you ara able to style "abc" which also comes after an image tag.

You should pack entire folder to zip and attach in reply. Not copy'n'paste code..

 

Anyway. Here is how it looks on my Firefox:

450049884_Grab1.thumb.png.af874cbefbba3ffc4369606a1ae8fae5.png

 

After changing error mentioned by Strange in line 12 to:


</h1><br><img src="ian.jpg" height="370" width="300">

and changing line in CSS file to:

.top{color:yellow;}

How it should looks like?

How it looks like on your machine/browser?

There is yet another error...

It requires url( 'filename' );

If we enter developer mode in web browser we can see reason for errors e.g. which resources are missing, improperly closed tags etc.

Firefox showed me this:

Do you understand? Browser MERGED these three tags together interpreting them as one..

.abc class should be BLUE, according to CSS, but on my 1st screen-shot it is BLACK. Web browser didn't find <p class="abc"> as tag due to improperly closed double-quotes in <img> tag.

Are you sure this is correct? Is it, perhaps, class "abc" that you cannot style (because of the error described above)?

There are several things you can do. The simplest is probably to put the image inside <div></div>. This is, be default, a "block" element; in other words, creates a new paragraph. (</br> only works within a <p> element)

You can also specify "align=..." for the image. But I can't remember off the top of my head how this interacts with paragraph layouts.

There are also a lot of options in CC for controlling the layout. You could set display="block" for the image, for example.

Thank you i have been able to solve my problem.Again let me ask you one question,if i put inline element inside block .Does it make that inline element as block and creates automatically line break with other block element??

No. The proper, modern, CSS-way is to do it inside of CSS file.

And you should read and use CSS properties float, clear, overflow for such task.

Read post from this morning. And the all links that I gave. There are examples of usage of these CSS properties.

That works because of the clear="all" not because of the <br/>. You could put clear="all" in the <p> tase and it should have the same effect. That is really intended to be used after "float" elements (I think images float unless you specify the alignment). But, as Sensei says, you should really do this in the CSS, rather than the HTML.

It can be very confusing trying to learn these things by trial and error. I would look for a good tutorial online, to get a more structured approach. You can usually find good lessons/blog posts on individual features (such as layout, colours, boxes, blocks vs inline elements, etc).

The W3Schools website is a good resource with tutorials and reference material on how things work: https://www.w3schools.com

@Netra77

Listen Strange (and me) and download text editor for programmers and webmasters. I am recommending ConTEXT.

http://www.contexteditor.org/downloads/

It will highlight properties, attributes, tags etc.

If they are improperly entered, highlighted is entire text below troublesome area.
