Help with HTML in contact page

Hi,

I just started configuring my imagevue website and came across a weird issue. I want to have some clickable social buttons above my mailform that link to my facebook, twitter, etc. I placed the images after eachother without any < /br> or <p></p> tags in them, and still they show up vertical in stead of horizontal.

What am i doing wrong?

the code im using is this:
Code
<div><a href="http://www.facebook.com/mikulamusic" target="_blank"><img src="content/contact/facebook.png" height="50" width="50" /></a><a href="http://www.twitter.com/mikulamusic" target="_blank"><img src="content/contact/twitter.png" height="50" width="50" /></a><a href="http://youtube.com/badjak123" target="_blank"><img src="content/contact/youtube.png" ng="" height="50" width="50" /></a><a href="http://soundcloud.com/mikula" target="_blank"><img src="content/contact/soundcloud.png" height="50" width="50" /></a></div>
Even when not placing it in a <div> element it does this.

You can check the result in the contactpage on my site http://www.futuretunes.com please don't mind how my site looks so far, i had just started :)

I'm gonna be straight-forward with you here ... The "textpages" you see in the flash gallery are basically only what they call "Flash textfields", which support limited html tags. They do not really support proper html like a normal browser renders it, and here lies the problem. We have also tried to do earlier what you are attempting, but failed, simply because flash textfields are crappy like this and dont wish to align images properly except for just slapping them into the textfield. I gave up in the end ... There are two other solutions you may wish to consider unless you give up and just accept that it aligns images vertically:


# If you are ambitious, you could make a buttons.swf file, and add it into the textfield (just like you add an img). Since you have full manual control of your custom SWF, you could put the buttons exactly as you want horizontally aligned.

# For full freedom from flash textfield, you could instead use the lightbox functionality to open a custom html page in an overlay window. Tedious of course, because it means you would basically need to design your html page from scratch, but it would allow full flexibility of proper browser-supported html https://www.photo.gallery/documentation/lightbox/

Thanks! i knew the use of HTML was limited, but didn't know it was the cause of my problem. I'll go with a .swf for now. Thanks for your reply!
