    Default Inserting Amazon links - Web Designer Pro

    Hi all
    I have a little website: http://www.own-boat-tuition.co.uk/index.htm to which I have added a page for books. I would like to list sailing and boat books from Amazon.
    I tried copying the HTML that Amazon provide and adding it to the relevent page using: - Utilities - Web Properties - page, and then going to HTML Code (body) button and pasting it in.

    The problem is nothing appears on the page - I was expecting some text and a pic of the book cover...

    I expect I have missed something obvious - I am a sailor not a coder...

    Any help would be much appreciated - this is my first attempt at anything like this.

    Kind regards

    Paul

    Paul, create a box, 120x240px, on your design page.
    Currently, your "Of Yachts and Men" insert is under your Books page.
    Paste the same code into Web Properties > Placeholder > HTML code (body).

    Hi Acorn
    Thank you for your reply.

    Among other mistakes I didn't realise that the Amazon image and link wouldn't be visible on the design page...
    When previewing and publishing the site I find that I can only see the Amazon link and image in Explorer - it is not visible in Firefox or Chrome - do you have any ideas?

    Thanks again
    Paul

    Paul, in the Placeholder tab, there is a tick box that allows the placeholder source to generate the end view: tick Regenerate.

    It appears in my browsers, except Opera, so in each browser, try pressing Ctrl+F5 to clear their caches and force the latest page export to be downloaded.

    Great, now what's with this thing that floats on water with a sheet; it beats me?
