682374 2008-06-25 08:00:00 Heya...
am making a small as website in frontpage but having an issue with moving images, i know its possible as i've done it b4 but been off an computer for so long and yeah,
I wana be able to drag drop images any where on the page instead of it being locked in lines with text and stuff, so i can just drag and put it slightly off centre or something like that...if u know what i mean?

Am using frontpage 03...wanted to upgrade but cant seem 2 find new version...microsoft changed names of software apparently...

Hope ya can help :)

682375 2008-06-25 08:43:00 To move images (not necessarily drag and drop) I right click on the image within the web page in Front Page, select Picture Properties - then Appearance. From the drop down menu (Alignment) I choose just where I want the image placed. Maybe this can help............ Oldferix (5581)
682376 2008-06-26 00:46:00 will give that a go,
i had a setting that let me move them with so much ease, like import them into frontpage, then just use mouse and move it around till i was sasified where it was, enabling me to have text on top of image and all that so easy., just a simple thing, but forgotten it...time surely went by since i last used it.
but will give ur one a go :)

682377 2008-06-26 07:48:00 In order to move the images by dragging them (like in a word processor) your server has to support Microsoft Front Page code. I tried it several years ago, quite effective but cost too much at the time. Also allows easy forms etc.

If you stick to plain HTML you can position the pictures by using tables, you don't need a special server and any Browser can read it. If you don't have tables you can use the graphics property's to go right, left, up, down

Web pages are very different to other types of documents, and without knowing how the HTML works you'll be forever confused about why the page elements keep jumping around and doing unexpected things in different browsers, resolutions, etc.

For full control over placement, CSS is the way to go.
