Welcome to TalkGraphics

You cannot add tables. You can create a table using this information http://www.xaraxone.com/guest/guest82/

Not sure what you are asking in question 3. Can you be more specific?

Thanks for the link to make tables.

Q3 means to make folder with a webite where another webpage created with their images and data with the folders, as we do in Frontpage.

Also if you have anylinks to create interactive forms for user to contact the site owner.

Xara exports the images (also the .css .js ) related to the page to a folder of the same name as the first .htm file name, usually index.htm. This creates a folder named index_htm_files
You cannot tell Xara to export the images to another folder name unless your first export file name is also that other name.
eg: export as specialname.htm, will save all the associated images files ect automatically into folder called specialname_htm_files.
This is how the software works at this time.

...to create interactive forms for user to contact the site owner.

If your server supports PHP, this simple form will work fine:

► PHP MAILER


If you want to send the user to a thankyou.htm after submission, simply change the code shown in step 2 like this:

Change:
<?PHP $to = "youremail@wherever.com";
$subject = "Contact Form response";
$headers = "From: Form Mailer";
$forward = 0;
$location = "";

to:
<?PHP $to = "youremail@wherever.com";
$subject = "Contact Form response";
$headers = "From: Form Mailer";
$forward = 0;
$location = "thankyou.htm";

If you are creating the thankyou.htm in xara for publishing, the location url should be changed to:

$location = "index_htm_files/thankyou.htm";

Apologies, I made a mistake with the code change instructions above.
Please use these instructions instead

If you want to send the user to a thankyou.htm after submission, simply change the code shown in step 2 like this:

Change:
<?PHP $to = "youremail@wherever.com";
$subject = "Contact Form response";
$headers = "From: Form Mailer";
$forward = 0;

to:
<?PHP $to = "youremail@wherever.com";
$subject = "Contact Form response";
$headers = "From: Form Mailer";
$forward = 1;
$location = "thankyou.htm";

Please disregard the section:

$location = "index_htm_files/thankyou.htm";

thnks, I will try that out.

Can we make different subsites for eg. www.mysite.com/products/product.html
or www.mysite.com/aboutus/aboutus.htm?

reason to make sub site is to make the mainsite to load quick and not have memory runout.

If you have any solution pls inform.

New to XWD. I used your code to create a form. The only problem I'm having is positioning the form. At the present time it is in the upper left corner. How to you position the form within the web page? aemdliz
