HTML Anchor
« on: January 24, 2007, 08:08:38 PM »
Hello,

I would like to know how to anchor an image with FrontPage 2003 or if I have to change the HTML code. Any suggestion is appreciated.

Thank You

Exactly what do you mean by "anchor"?

I mean so that the picture doesn't move anymore according to the screen resolution and size of browser window.

Thanks

This applies to text, also, doesn't it?  Are you using tables to layout your page?  I suspect you're using them and setting width attributes as a percentage instead of a fixed width.  Change your technique to fixed width.  Does that solve your problem?

If you want to put something in a fixed position, you need to use CSS styling and the "position: absolute" attribute, along with "left: ..." and "top: ...".  FrontPage probably protects you from the nitty gritty detail of this but I can't help you with FP specifics, because I avoid that program like the plague.

So, Rob, you're saying using height and width attributes with tables will not keep things in a fixed position?   :-?

Correct.  And in fact browsers have an annoying habit of ignoring the "width" attribute on over-long columns.  Fixed width containing DIVs are needed, to correct that.

You can do this in Front Page with layers (using div tags). To do this from the design (WYSIWYG) portion click insert and select layer. This will create a new layer that can be moved anywhere on the page. Click within the layer and insert an image within that layer. That layer will have a fixed position to wherever you drag it and will stay in that fixed resolution regardless of the resolution.
