Hi Cedric,

I've worked out all the bugs and have my highslide links working properly in my site. Thank you!

I am slowly working through my site and converting my html snippets to alt html text boxes as you recommend.

One problem I have, is the text boxes appear in different positions when I view the page in Safari, Firefox and Chrome. If I change the position in iWeb to fix it in one browser, it moves it in another. Can you offer any tricks for positioning alt html text boxes so they appear in the same place? I'm trying to center the linked text inside of a button.

I also have a google search bar that I would like right aligned. Can you specify the alignment of the content? Right now if I try to shorten the width of the text box in iweb so I can align it to the right it sometimes wraps the search button.

Jeza

I usually put them inside the main textbox so if they move they move with everything. No other tip. If it moves only slightly you may live with it. Anyway why don't you make an image/button with the text on it and use it as a link instead of having a text link put over an image? I think putting something on top of something else (layers) causes problems to iWeb, iWeb then sometimes has problems generating the code.

To specify the alignment of the content wrap it into a div where you can decide whether you want the code to be aligned right, left or centered like this:

<div align="right">
Paste the code here
</div>

Cédric

Hi Cedric,

The alignment problem is fixed. Thank you.

I tried typing the text inside the image button, but when I try to run massreplaceit it doesnt see the text I need to replace with html.

Jeza.

No. I didn't mean to add a shape in iWeb and write in the shape. That doesn't work.

I meant to open up photoshop or any other image editing application, build the button in photoshop then upload it to your server put it into the code for whatever you're trying to have a button for with

<img="URLtoTheImage">

instead of text.
