    Default Help needed for 360 web rotator

    Can the really clever chaps on this forum try and help me please!
    I've doing a site for a professional car photographer - everything is great and he's very happy - BUT - he also does 360 VR rotators - here's a link to an example on his current site: http://www.deskleineibst.com/?page_id=605
    According to his assistant/technical guy, if he posts it to Youtube, the file size/format goes up to over 300Mb and takes ages to load.
    Is there anyway I can create a folder on his new site, put a jpeg on the page in Xara and then have the link point to the folder on the server?
    Here is a layout of the folder and subfolders on his server:

    I'm no expert but I would imagine you could embed such content through a placeholder after having created the rotator images.

    Hi Mike,

    You can simply add this to a placeholder as Boy states above.

    Thanks Egg - but that's too easy! That's a link to his old site.
    On the new site (you can view it at http://www.logostore.co.za/360_inter..._exteriors.htm) - using Filezilla, I've created a folder under public_html called FJ360. In that folder, 'Ive placed all the necessary files and folders for the rotator.
    In WDP, I've placed a .jpg of the car on the page and then just created a link to: logostore/public_html/FJ360/FJ360exterior.html
    But when I preview the page, I get a "web page cannot be found". The weird thing is that if I click on the FJ360exterior.html file on my computer, a page opens and the 360 rotator works perfectly!
    Any help MUCH appreciated!

    This suggests to me that the link might not be correct.

    The link should be:
    http://www.logostore.co.za/FJ360/FJ360exterior.html

    public_html folder is the root folder on many web hosting site. It's the default folder that a domain name point towards. So http://www.logostore.co.za points to this folder but it's not required in the address string. Other web hosts have different default folders, but many use public_html folder to contain the website.
