According to one page I found on W3c the "start" was deprecated in HTML4 and added back in HTML5. I'm sorry, I went through so many pages I don't remember where I found that but I know it was on a W3c page somewhere.

I'm not sure how to make that work. From the example it appears that it increments at each iteration of the h3 tag. I can see it incrementing at each iteration of the li tag but I have dozens ordered lists and I only want one to increment this way. I don't know if you can do an "li class....... ". I haven't found anything that says I can or can't. It would have to be something like "li.sub:after {.......". Might be something to experiment with. I was kind of hoping for a simpler method like "ol start="3900.1" step=".1" " On 09/14/2013 11:19 AM, Joe Court wrote: > You could try using CSS to get the effect. > > <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/CSS/Counters?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=CSS%252FCounters> > > Joe > Wakefield (UK) > > On 14 Sep 2013, at 16:54, Billie Walsh <bilwalsh@swbell.net> wrote: > >> I've been googling and reading but I can't find a way to get the >> incrementing that I want in lists.

I've been googling and reading but I can't find a way to get the incrementing that I want in lists. I want to increment the list by ".1", as in : 3900.1 First item 3900.2 Second item 3900.3 Third item etc. There's probably some very simple way but it escapes me. -- A cat is a puzzle with no solution.

Valerie, I'm glad you've found the method I suggested useful. With regard to Photoshop; many of the things that once could only be done with that type of software have now become achievable using current browsers, HTML5, CSS3 and advanced features under development by the various browser vendors.

Many thanks, Barry, for your help, which has worked brilliantly on several of my images. I only wish I had been aware of how to do this before adding text to the photo itself, which makes everything look much more cluttered. I don't use Photoshop, although a very similar one. However it doesn't have the facility of linking up thumbnail images with larger ones, which would be helpful. I have always used the "target="blank" code to open in a new window. I am in the process of updating my web pages, the link to which is http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~boltongenealogy/photogallery_8.htm in order to dispense with text on the page itself, to give a more streamlined look. Valerie

A simple example can be seen at:- http://countjustonce.com/test/family-img-map.html It works in all browsers back to the IE6 era. The pseudo :after {content:"some text"} doesn't work in IE6, IE7 and IE10, but does in IE8, IE9 and IE11. You probably don't need that anyway, as I did it just as an acknowledgement of where the image came from. Any page using the <a> tag as a block level element, i.e. display:block will need to be in HTML5, just as the example page is. Simple, eh?

Valerie, It is possible to do what you want, and there a number of ways to do it. I will give you a general description of one method. 1.. Place the large image as a background in a div. 2.. Style the div as position:relative; 3.. For each person you wish to identify, create an <a> tag. 4.. All <a> tags to have a separate id and title attribute (person's name) and to be styled - position:absolute; z-index:10; display:block; height:??px;width:??px; background:transparent; 5.. For alignment purposes the top left corner of each <a> tag is positioned relative to the top left corner of the containing <div>. In order that you can see where these <a> tags are, temporarily add outline:solid 1px #f00; to their styles. Experiment by adding left:100px; top:75px; to the styles and adjust to get each id right> 6.. Finally, you can make use of the pseudo class a:hover, so that when you hover over each person they are highlighted, i.e. the background of the <a> tag changes to white and is given opacity:0.2; etc.. 7.. When hovering over a particular person, the description in the title attribute will show beside the cursor/pointer. You can also use the link feature to open a url related to that person. The above is just a general description, and it does involve a little work.

I have several photos on my web pages which enlarge in another window. To identify each person I've been putting a caption on the larger image with the aid of photo-imaging software. Is there any way I can edit the larger image itself to identify every person on the photo by running the mouse over it - I'm sure I've seen this done but can't remember which web site it was. Can anyone help? Valerie

Thanks Ralph - I had actually written to the list and said that I had sorted it out now. I still do not know what caused it as it was a clean unused file from my computer so it wasn't as if ancestry had put it there earlier. Quite odd and also as all others pages were clear of this error. I made a new page uploaded it and that is the page online now. Thanks for the kind help as usual Ralph.

Following on from my previous post... Perhaps the Zenu Link Sleuth utility is creating more problems than helping solve the ones it is being used for. With this in mind, it is a good time to mention that there is a free site scanner to be found at:- http://cyotek.com/cyotek-sitemap-creator The features it provides extend well beyond those found in Xenu. Go to the the above page and check the Features and Help links before downloading. Best get an idea of how it works before getting "stumped" when trying to use it.
