Hello Folks,

I have an older Drupal 5 installation and I used the "embedded media field" to be able to add a video when creating a "story" content type. It works fine but when you then add body content it will only display below the video. So if my video is only 350px wide I want the text to show to the right side of the video and wrap around. I know this is a theming issue but not sure how to get it done. When I use Firebug I see that the content area for the youtube video takes up the entire width of the page even though it's not that large. But, can't see where I can change that. Any direction is most appreciated. Thank you!

You can use css to size and float the elements. If you want more specific help you would need to post a link to a page that shows the video and text.

Hello Nevets and thanks so much for the quick reply! I'm actually trying to figure out how to get this to work so that anyone can add content and it will format correctly. Here is a link to a test video that I was working on. You''ll see all the blank space to the right. Again, thank you!

Looks like you want something like

.field-field-genericvideo .field-items {
    float: left;
    margin-right: 10px;
    width: 425px;
}

Note your text is adding in a non-standard way, so you may need to tweak this.

Hi again,

That seems like it will work as I don't think there will ever be tons of text. I tried adding lots of text and it does wrap but then when under the video it still maintains the width setting (obviously) but if it were just an image in a body field the text would then fill up the width. Anyway, it's much better solution than what I had. Thanks so much! Also, not sure what you mean by "text is adding in a non-standard way" as I'm just adding text to the body field. Is there something different I should try? Thanks again.

No, there is an unexpected div with an css id around the body (maybe it existing in D5).
