Hello all first time poster here, lovin WD wish i'd found it years ago anyway,

I'd suggest the following -

1) Create small placeholder (size is irrelevent), it can even reside off your page as it will have no physical/visual presence.

2) Give it a name of <head> and put this into it:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="featuredcontentglider.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="featuredcontentglider.js">

3) Put the actual .js and .css files in the same location as you export your website.

Voila!

* Obviously it's then up to you to create your placeholder for the glider itself. *

Let me know if this still isn't workig for you.

another question for you if you can help

how do i use ascii character in xara, specifically a copyright symbol, in html you use &copy: in the code but how do i apply this to xara

In Web Designer 6 use the Text Tool and where you want the copyright symbol use Alt+Ctrl+C.

Remember Web Designer is not an HTML editor, it creates HTML only when exported to a web page/site.

thats wicked dude, i'm still gettin to grips with xara, but its a great program for someone like me who hates any kind of coding

It's true xara isn't a html editor, but it can be an html composer - HTML can be added via placeholders.

True, for the © symbol it's not necessary - but it's good for adding other symbols via html.
