CSS placing image by a form

Question

I want an image to appear right beside a form. This is what I am have tried.

CSS file:

.il {
    display:inline;
    padding: 0px;
    margin: 0px;
}

new.html.erb

<div class="il">
<%= image_tag("successful_forex_trader.jpg", :alt => "Forex Money Manager") %>
    <div class="small-6 large-centered columns">    
    <%= form_for(@investor) do |f| %>

        <%= render 'shared/error_messages', object: f.object %>
            <fieldset>
                <legend> Enter your best details</legend>

                <%= f.label :name %>
                <%= f.text_field :name, :placeholder => "John Doe" %> </br>

                <%= f.label :email %>
                <%= f.text_field :email, :placeholder => "you@example.com" %></br>

                <%= f.label :country %>
                <%= f.text_field :country %></br>

                <%= f.label :phone %>
                <%= f.text_field :phone, :placeholder => "" %></br>

                <%= f.submit "I'm interested!", :class => 'button radius' %>
            </fieldset>
        <% end %>

    </div>
</div>

Generated html code:

 <div class="il">
<img alt="Forex Money Manager" src="/assets/successful_forex_trader-a46ac55676d8bd8789095d2e5ebbef0c588692b25c6d8d3da51b32efa6fd2435.jpg" />
    <div class="small-6 large-centered columns">    
    <form class="new_investor" id="new_investor" action="/investors" accept-charset="UTF-8" method="post"><input name="utf8" type="hidden" value="&#x2713;" /><input type="hidden" name="authenticity_token" value="n10HveoPkQJz0n5llHZgPO7hlgiUhoOgFWOfW28SoKn9/YwRtFLZC5+8bFl0Ywy0gOStDirJ+6gmLB7wHA==" />


            <fieldset>
                <legend> Enter your best details</legend>

                <label for="investor_name">Name</label>
                <input placeholder="John Doe" type="text" name="investor[name]" id="investor_name" /> </br>

                <label for="investor_email">Email</label>
                <input placeholder="you@example.com" type="text" name="investor[email]" id="investor_email" /></br>

                <label for="investor_country">Country</label>
                <input type="text" name="investor[country]" id="investor_country" /></br>

                <label for="investor_phone">Phone</label>
                <input placeholder="+48111111111" type="text" name="investor[phone]" id="investor_phone" /></br>

                <input type="submit" name="commit" value="I&#39;m interested!" class="button radius" />
            </fieldset>
</form>     
    </div>
</div>

But when you got to my live site, you see the image is way above the form. What could I have done wrong? https://infinite-oasis-2303.herokuapp.com/investors/new

The CSS display:inline is being applied on the container, not on it's elements. One approach is to just float the <img> using class=left and move it alongside the <form>, inside the centered div.

<div class="small-9 large-centered columns">    
<%= image_tag("successful_forex_trader.jpg", :class => 'left', :alt => "Forex Money Manager") %>
<%= form_for(@investor) do |f| %>
