Linking to Excel Charts

[Carrot]

XDP6 - Is there a way to link/placeholder to charts located in an excel file?

I've tried using a \Graphs folder in the webspace area and placeholdering to exported graph images but when I update the graphs in the specified folder (maintaining filenames), the exported web only seems to show the originally exported file/placeholder image. How do I ensure the placeholder file is always linked?

I cant copy the file as an example due to ITAR/IPR restrictions.

For your placeholder, use a relative URL in the 'Replace with HTML code" area:

example:

<img src="/graphics/myexcelimage.png">

EDIT: Added example attachment (using an absolute URL)

Thanks Sledger

Sledger,
In your relative linking example, should the /graphics folder reside in the same directory as the index.htm or the index_htm_files folder?

[steve.ledger]

It would be in the same directory as the index.htm.
Relative URL means relative to the document that links it.

Thanks once again Sledger.
Another related question - using this approach is it possible to define the size of the imported image e.g. 640 x 480 pixels, or do I have to size the image files according.
I know using other placeholder options XDP6 resizes automatically to the placeholder.

I think ive answered my own question <img src="/graphics/myexcelimage.png" width="640" height="480"> although I think it would be best practice to size the images appropriately before use.

Definitely ;-)
