Image w/ description

[beachwave]

Hey

This question has probably been asked numerous times, but havnt been able to find it on the forum let alone what i actually search for

I'm using the Image w/ descriot tooltip and just wana know how i swap the image from the righthand side of the mouse as it is presently to the lefthand side..

i've tried changeing the position:absolute to postion:left but the image appears up the top left hand corner then creates alota empty space

cheers for your help in advance

thanx a million vwphillips...
