Creating an eBay ready web page

[dogbertbh]

I'm on day 2 of my free trial. I'm so blown away it's incredible.

I've even recruited some non-web/computer/technical folk at work here to feign excitement because it's that good.

Before yesterday revolutionized my thinking, I was using deamweaver and Trellian Web Page to let my managers upload cars to eBay using another website as a storage area for the pictures with all the links spelled out.

Example: http://images.autouplinkusa.com/v/76...6KJ1239201.jpg

Is there a way to have the full links the same way without editing the HTML in Xara?

Thanks,

You should be able to add any link to any object in xtreme. If you select the object and then Ctrl,Shift, W you can add a link .

Hi Bruce,

Links alone are not the issue.

If you have the line <img src="wernertest2.htm_files/0.png" border="0" alt="" style="left: 0px; top: 0px; width: 801px; height: 595px; position: absolute;"/>

It's a lot different from <img src="http://www.carcreditnh.com/wernertest2.htm_files/0.png" border="0" alt="" style="left: 0px; top: 0px; width: 801px; height: 595px; position: absolute;"/>

I need to reference another site for the images on the HTML description

I see what you mean. I have not tried that in the html export. I will have to try it and see if I can figure anything out.

If you are just linking to another image that is on another site then just give the link to the image and use the New Window command.

For example http://www.graphics.com/modules/Gall...lbum09/aag.jpg this link goes to a specific image on another website.

Using the New Window command opens a window with that image but does not take the visitor away from your page.

Ummm Gary... That is just a popup which is blocked by most modern browsers by default. (Not a good idea to suggest those).

Create a placeholder image the same dimensions as your remote hotlinked image and using the name button give it a unique name.

Save your HTML.
Open the .htm file in notepad and find the unique name (ctrl+F), change the <img src="*"

EG:

<a name="EXTERNAL IMAGE" ><img src="index.htm_files/0.png" border="0" alt="" style="left: 29px; top: 53px; width: 551px; height: 91px; position: absolute;"/></a>

change to

<a name="EXTERNAL IMAGE" ><img src="http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/misc/vbulletin3_logo_white.gif" border="0" alt="" style="left: 29px; top: 53px; width: 551px; height: 91px; position: absolute;"/></a>

To insert external image you have to create a placeholder object (with correct size and positioning). Then add a name to it:
img="http://www.myimages.com/image.jpg"
That's it. Entered link will be used in the exported html.

You may need to update your html filter in order to make it work. If so, download it form this message: http://www.talkgraphics.com/showpost...30&postcount=9

Hope it helps.

Covoxer,

I'm having an issue FINDING the htmlfiler.dll file. Where should i look for it? I did a search and came up with nothing.

I even did a DOS search using /s but didn't see anything at all.
