Re: Rotating banner script
Impossible to answer accurately without seeing the script you are using?
However, please review this thread;

Re: Rotating banner script
I think it is fairly obvious what I do with the script, but I was wondering what the program's convention was for autonaming and what directories might have to be drilled down to.
Don't worry. I will publish a template site and see what it calls stuff. Sorry to trouble.
Wish there were a manual (OK now you are going to say, there is a manual. But I mean a printed manual.)

Yes it's obvious to the point of the purpose (which is why I gave you the link to something possibly similar which works)
Web Designer and Xtreme are not HTML editors as you've no doubt already read on the forums.
But by way of placeholders that can accept code snippets and scripts for added functionality. There is very little in the way of convention and so forth, it simply exports you code snippet or script along with the WYSIWYG content of your created site.
On export, only one folder is created which by default is: index_htm_files
Without seeing the script you have in mind to use, I couldn't answer how to best use it because it's very likely unique, as most of course are.
You won't find anything in the Help file about external script other than what I've said, Xara supports the use of placeholders but not the code you put in them. That's where the forum helps :)
Anyway, if you run into trouble, post your .web file and script and I'm sure someone will help you. :)
Re: Rotating banner script
The Help files and "movies" really are a manual. Just take some time to familiarize yourself with the contents.
And in most cases with Xara products, pressing F1 while you have a tool selected brings up a context sensitive menu with an explanation of the function and options.
And when you think about it, this is much more efficient than having to look something up in a book. Not to mention saving a few trees in the bargain.
Re: Rotating banner script
Hi Gary,
I know. I spend all my life on line but like to learn from a book. And me, an e-learning bod. Always been that way - I suspect from the days when my youngest was a baby. Used to snatch a few minutes with a manual whenever he slept. If ever I put the computer on he woke up. But books are silent...
Brace yourselves because I am doing all kinds of stuff at the moment and will ask all kinds of stupid questions until I find where everything is. But I promise to try and find the answer first, although the HELP is not the most comprehensive I've encountered. Quite large subjects are completely missing and some subjects appear to have placeholders.
Also - take pity! Everything is called something different in my other programs. I have to get used to the Xara lingo.
Have a good weekend.
Ali

Be nice to Steve (sledger). He is a fount of knowledge. :D
Re: Rotating banner script
I agree. He's brilliant.
I've had a very enjoyable day in XWD6 today. I keep going for graphics tools that aren't there, though, which makes me wonder whether I should be designing in the bigger program. Love to run before I can walk. Always.
But I love the cuteness, the loveliness, the convenience - the everything of XWD6. It reminds me of Fusion in its beautiful, early incarnations. I like the sparseness. Hope it never gets feature bloat, which is very deadly to pretty software.
Again, I ask - why is it so cheap?

Less cost + greater functionality = more sales = more profit......it's a marketing truth that has existed as long as man has had something to trade for.......
