Lee,

Thanks for the awesome tutorial. I was able to insert a moon phase into my home page at www.187fish.org

Thanks
Danny

It's a shame Xara's html export doesn't support naming an object iframe="x" where x is the first part of the link given in the Google map relating to iframes, so that on export, the code generated ends up like the manually edited version.

However, I noticed that there's a problem relating to length of text that can be used to name an object which may affect this; if the name is too long, it's truncated.

Is iframe support in some kind of way in the works?

No, not yet. But we'll consider this.
Thanks.

Thanks.

I would also love to see some kind of i-frame support, even if it worked like the flash="myflash.swf" naming convention.

I'm JUST about to go through this iframe stuff today.

Used Xara today for a quick start to web design.

Included Flash placeholder and converted HTML to use iFrame.

Thanks for the instruction, Lee! (And Xhris, Egg, Gary & Covoxer, of course)

The moving header graphic is very distracting. If you need the animation, don't repeat it. Once is more than enough.

You should always remind this proven design rule:
Less is more.

The animation that's there was just a 2 minute flash file to use as a placeholder til i complete the rotating header that will ultimately be there.

h. Don't know if it's just my machine but when I scroll down using FF I get the white lines as per the attached screengrab.
