    Default Banner and stretching issues.

    When setting up a banner picture to stretch, I only a few options, top, centre and bottom. Still when the screen size changes and every user has a different monitor size, the same image may get cut off so there is no real ideal setup? correct? A head gets chopped off or legs etc... Is there a way to not have this happen as the screen size enlarges?

    I think the best thing to do is create a very wide image, as wide as will work for most monitors. Position it and un-check Clip to edges.

    You can make the image sticky and place text over the image.

    I'm not a fan of stretched images for the very reasons you mentioned.

    Here's an example http://gwpriester.xara.hosting/wide-photo/

    One more thing. If you import a large photo into a website document, Xara changes the resolution to 260dpi, regardless of the original. To get around this, import into a print page, then cut and paste it into the web document and you will have the original resolution.

    This is how this feature is supposed to work. It's best to select an image that is still attractive when it's being cropped on the fly. Read the 'Stretchy Objects' section in the Help file for more info.

    Gary, I followed what you suggested, unchecked the clip to edge, but now there is a horizontal scroll bad. so realistically when viewed on a 1024 I get the long scrolling bar going horizontal. How can this be?

    Thanks Boy, I already read that.

    I'm not getting a scroll bar in Firefox and I do not like or like Chrome. Nothing wrong with the browser except it adds .pup files whenever I use it which get flagged by WebRoot.

    That is strange, it works on your example, but when I took your banner pic and put it in a new page, it does not work anymore and I get the horizontal bar.
