hI - 4/2/2005 17:09:18
Hi Guys-- Need help. I currently have a FP web: www.RyanArtDuo.com. As you can see, it's extensive but really quite simple. I want to start a separate site, a blog, and I'm already running into trouble. I'm an artist and I have painted a banner--about one-&-a-quarter inch high by eight inch wide--to use as a header. I can insert it simply as a picture okay, or in a table okay, but either way, an eight inch field is created vertically beneath it (matching the width) and I therefore can't insert any text directly under it.
Can you tell me how to achieve the banner in the simplest way?
I am not a web design whiz. Getting desperate. Martin.

Hi jaybee--Thanks for your reply. I think I misled you. Sorry. My current published web, you viewed, which I constructed with tables, is not the issue. I used it to illustrate its simplicity--that I avoided complicated methods and wanted to continue to do so in creating another site. I'm poking around the home page of my unpublished web, trying to insert a banner at the top, in the easiest way possible; so we're talking about a new page with nothing on it (yet). The width of the banner, 8", (about 1 & 1/4 " hi) seems to be the problem. When I insert it, with or without a table, the width, seems to determine the depth of the field directly beneath it, in essence creating an 8" square box, blank except for the banner at its top, preventing insertion of text, etc. directly under the banner where I want it, in the resistant blank field; while If I scroll beneath this box I can then begin insertion 8" beneath the banner, where i don't want it. Any solution? Or is this a lost cause? Thanks, jaybee.
Martin.

Sorry. Dumber than dumb, I suppose, but I don't see anything resembling a "code button"--wouldn't know one if I saw it unless it was labled as such.

RE: hI - 4/5/2005 11:51:53
Jaybee, just realized you might need the page:
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 5.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
</head>
<body>
<p>
<img border="0" src="flag%20text.JPG" width="510" height="660"></p>
</body>
</html>

DPF-- I didn't tell it anything. My art image banner is about 1hx8w inches. I'm using FP/tables and the program creates the html, not me. Jaybee asked me to bring up the html code to copy and paste for inspection, which I did. I saw the depth size when I viewed the code, but I don't know what to do about it, how to make it work for me. Anyway, I appreciate interest, DPF. Any solutions are welcomed, believe me.

Martin,
Since your site is down, experiment with the height command Dan suggested:
<p><img border="0" src="flag%20text.JPG" width="510" height="660"></p>
In Code View (next to Design View at the bottom left with FrontPage open), Change to:
<p> <img border="0" src="flag_text.jpg" width="510" height="120"></p>
Should reflect this change after saving in Preview Mode.

Martin: I appreciate that you are new and are "using" FP to do your stuff for you. I was delibberate tho when i personalized it and said "you" told it. the point is that while FP is a handy tool, you ultimately need to understand the html and adjust sometimes. think about it - this isnt that hard. the <img tag you posted says quote:
width="510" height="660 -even without knowing and code, that should seem illogical to you -after all , you describe your banner as being many times wider than high and yet the image size is defined as higher than wide. dont be afraid to play a little - just change the numbers - leave the quotes and everything else alone

Martin: right click your image and select properties and tell us what dimensions are.

RE: hI - 4/5/2005 15:58:05
Larry--When I first read the code, I tinkered the 660 Hi down to 300, 200,100, & it squished the image, not the persistant box. I went back and tried the 120--same problem.
DPF-- My response to Larry explains I did try tinkering. Also, properties matched the code 510x660.
To All-- For the heck of it, I made a "new page" in my existing site: www.ryanartduo and inserted the same banner, and there was absolutely no problem. The code matched the width and height of the banner, and I was able to insert text directly underneath it!
I deleted and exited, returned to the new index.htm and the problem still existed. I went to another new index.htm and it also had the same problem. I opened a new blank page, not designating it as index.htm, and had the same problem. It's maddening. I can't create a new site! I can't image what is wrong with these new index.htm pages, not allowing me to do what I am able to do in my existing site. Martin

I suspect his image that he thinks is only an inch high actually is the size that it shows as in properties and the remainder is blank. needs to crop it in a graphics program..... me suspects

RE: hI - 4/6/2005 15:05:55
DPF & Jaybee:
I think you're both correct. You all got me thinking, so I deleted this banner file image for good, re-scanned same, cropped it in my editor, the same as the first, and lo and behold--when I inserted it into the new page, it worked! That is, it occupied its own space, period, and I was able to work directly beneath it.
Whatever corrupted the first file-- my programs or me, I suppose will remain one of the minor mysteries of life (or something like that).
Thanks so much for setting me in the right direction.
Martin.

Jaybee: "Martin or program, program or Martin." Mmm, sounds like an interesting mantra.
Dpf: Yes indeed! Now on to the next big goof, when I'll come running back for help.
Thanks, all.
Martin
