Image file links

Welcome to TalkGraphics

My first question is WHY?

Put the image on your page where you want it. Web Designer will do the rest as far as coding is concerned.

Or am I missing something?

The html code allows scrolling and the element stays in a fixed place (upper right) so the image is static and the page scrolls behind it. I don't see a way to do that without importing the html code.

Ah, OK, I get it.

Use a placeholder. A placeholder is any object, usually a simple rectangle.

Select the rectangle then click the World icon (Website Properties) and go to the Placeholder section.

Copy and paste your body text in the Body section and the head in the Head section.

Placeholders add the HTML text to the appropriate parts of your website when you preview or publish your site.

Try this without the <BODY> </BODY> and <HEAD> </HEAD> tags since I think they are redundant.

OK the placeholder works, I finally figured out how locate the image. One question, is there only one placeholder allowed per page? I tried to make a rectangle and use the same code only with a different location and the program only recognized one. Another question is what is the difference between using the place holder and putting the coded on the page?

thanks for the help!

I am not sure about how many placeholders you can use. If you use a placeholder the code is inserted into your HTML document each time you publish or preview your site. If you manually edit your HTML document then the next time you publish your document the code will need to be reinserted.

One thing you can try with the placeholder is if you want to reference two more more images, just add these to the existing placeholder. If the <head> text does not change then leave it as it is.

Have a go and report back.

I can still only get one image to show up but I am not that familiar with html (I just copied the original code from W3schools) so I am not sure if I did it correctly.

In order for this to work in the context that I would like it to work, I would have to change the head text to reference a second fixed position.

Can you show me what you are wanting? You have an URL which demonstrates your goal?
There are some ways to create fixed objects in Xara Designer using some tweaks (the left and right tabs tweak for example: http://xara-users.info/demos/left-ri...mple/index.htm), but I'd need to see precisely what you are wanting first.
