How do I get inserted HTML code fragments to appear in the browse.

mjbfahey

I have inserted HTML code fragments in my web publication that consist of a
"add to cart" button. When I look at it through my browser, Microsoft
Explorer, it looks fine, but when I look at it from a different computer with
Microsoft Explorer or any other browser, the buttons appear in a different
location than where I placed them. How do I get these HTML code fragments to
appear in the same location as my publication?

My website is www.heirloomrosary.com
I am using Publisher 2003, I have also downloaded the service pack1,
I am inserting HTML provided by Paypal, I am using Internet Explorer
version 6.0
I am also using Windows XP. Hope this all helps!

Looking over a few product pages the two paypal fragments look all right.

But on the home page you have to much going on. 3 paypal frags, a search
frag, and a webring frag. You should rethink that.

Did you have a specific page you are concerned about and a specific fragment
on the page?

Are you using a Master Page?

there should be any paypal "add to cart" frags on the home page only the
"view-cart", the search thing is something I was playing with but I can take
it out. The webring I have to keep if I want my site to be listed on the
webring. Anyway, all the pages with "add to cart" have a problem. I don't
know which two specifically you were looking at, but when I looked at them
from another computer, they were way off into the right and down on the
screen. No, I am not using a Master page, I am fairly new to Publisher, most
of what I have done is from trial and error. Any tips/help would be greatly
appreciated.

Yes, that one is the most problematic because it has more than one product on
one page and it is hard to tell which button is for what product. I was
reading the discussion board and I found a couple of people with the same
problem that you both were helping on but it didn't list an outcome/solution.
One was last December "Tara" and one recently in February 7, 2005 "Chris". I
experimented with the shape as you suggested to Tara on a discussion
12/19/2004 but that didn't seem to make a difference, "what I see is not what
I get"!

You can't always get WYSIWYG because of html limitations and browser
control. But it gets a little harder with code fragments since you are
dealing with snippets of code rather then a physical object. Add to that
situation that this page is multiple form actions on a single page. My
recommendation is that you copy/paste this page into a new pub file and send
the file to me. I'll see what I can do with it.

Did you "File, Publish as web" the web publication before you sent it to me?
The file you sent me created a web page that was completely accurate to the
publication. With this file I could not repro the problems seen in your
online version. That said, upon review of your publication I do find a few
things that I recommend "not doing", any one of which would be suspect in
creating undesired results. They are... html code fragments (frag) should
not be locked in a grouping. Each of your product descriptions is grouped
with a frag. Also frags should not be layered with any other object. Yet
again, each frag is layered in the description text box object. The text box
object should stop above the frag object. Additionally each frag object is
layered with the rectangle object you applied on the page as a background.
Which is the improper way to create a page background. Go to Format,
Background, to apply a background color to the page. Changing all the above
will get those frags away from any layering. At the top of the page, under
the logo header and above the page heading there is a line object. That line
is going off the document area on the left side and into the scratch area.
No object is to go off the page in this manner.
I realize that once the background was corrected the logo design, as is,
would lose the white background. So you'd need to place the logo design on a
white shape to recreate the current look. But in doing that there will be an
issue with the cart frag object. Because you'd end up having that layered
with the logo shape and off of the background. As such I'd suggest reviewing
the placement of the cart frag. Under the Home button would be my
suggestion.

Looking back thru this thread I see that I gave you a laundry list of things
to work on. The recommendation being that you should make all the changes I
explained and afterwards see if your issue can still be reproduced. Best way
to do this is to create a new web pub and copy paste the page in question
from the original web pub file and make changes to the new file and test it.
I'd want to know what the results of the testing is after the modifications.
