While working on some new websites I noticed several of the templates I was looking at have the name "PageControl:topleft" applied to the upper bar, the upper image headier, the menu bar and the upper site name. What is this name for? It's not used for a link to the top of the page.
Here's another example, the "Vista" template has the name on the logo at the top left and on the menu bar.
It is a variable and its value that Xara uses in its coding.
It can be ignored but probably not removed.
Xara has the habit of not describing how a thing works as we are mere mortals and its code is inviolate or we shouldn't be meddling.

So, if I were to delete the logo above that has this name and insert my own that doesn't have it, what is going to happen?.. will it mess up how the site functions? Should I add that name, "PageControl:topleft" to the new logo? I just noticed that the icons for Facebook, Email and Twitter on that Vista template also have this name.
Thanks,
Why would adding your own Logo affect the design. If it is set to repeating, that is what it will do.Quote:

From what I can deduce, PageControl:topleft appears in to places in the index file simply as an ID (of sorts) and seems to have no associated functions touching it.
My guess is the professional Xara template designers used a Name for something somewhere else and copied the image (and Name) across from another template and forget to tidy up.
I rarely use Xara's professional templates for this reason; I prefer making my own mistakes and not adopt another's.

Good point, but I'm so new to this I have to use there templates to learn how things work, as well as bug all of your here. :-)
