I'm trying to put my text to the left of my photo in a nice squarish container. It seems like it should be easy enough, but I must be missing something. After doing some research I've found to use the: "vertical-align" "display-inline" or "float" commands, but I haven't had success with any of them. Is it a problem with my code? Or is there another styling command I should be looking into?
Thank you for the help!
Heres the jsfiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/d7c99nkw/
Heres the code:
/* Cover */
#tom {
position: relative;
bottom: 40px;
left: 45%;
min-width: 55%;
max-width: 55%;
padding: 12px;
-webkit-box-reflect: below -70px -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(transparent), color-stop(78%, transparent), to(white));
}
.cover {
vertical-align: left;
padding: 36px;
float: left;
}<div class="cover">

</div>Here is a working solution: jsfiddle
In #tom css rule, remove left: 45% rule and add float: right;
#tom {
position: relative;
bottom: 40px;
/*REMOVE left: 45%;*/
min-width: 55%;
max-width: 55%;
padding: 12px;
-webkit-box-reflect: below -70px -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(transparent), color-stop(78%, transparent), to(white));
float: right;
}
As Paulie_D said, -webkit-box-reflect is no longer supported.
