RE: 'Would any of you kind listers be able to help me solve a problem with the"Enter Here" button on my web site ... I don't know why after all these years my Enter Here button does not work." To expand on Pat's reply, your HTML code at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~jeanmccarthy36/ is <p align="center"> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="images/enterhere.gif" WIDTH="152" HEIGHT="40"></p> All this code does is to display the image; that part's working. To make it do something else, you'll need either of the following: 1. To make the image a link by surrounding it with a href tag, or 2. To make it a Submit button for a form action. The link (which you probably intend) would look like <p align="center"><a href="some_page.htm"> <IMG BORDER="2" SRC="images/enterhere.gif" WIDTH="152"HEIGHT="40"></a></p> "some_page.htm" would be the page you want the viewer to see next. Note the opening <a ...> and closing </a> tags. BTW, I'd change the border from 0 to make it more obvious that the image is a link. -rt_/) -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Sunday, July 19, 2015 1:01 AM To: [email protected] Subject: FREEPAGES-HELP Digest, Vol 10, Issue 174 Today's Topics: 1.

To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-15; format=flowed; delsp=yes Billie, In the example at:- http://countjustonce.com/test/mercator-resize.html .. the span element containing the PNG image will show its box border when prompted to do so, and it will now turn on and off using the shape control. Meanwhile the "shape-outside-circle()" property creates a circle over the alpha channel pixels (the white area outside of the circular image) which is modified by the span element padding to become an ellipse. So in a floated element, the box is ignored when the "shape" property is in use, and the text will snuggle up to the shape boundary. Following on from the above, IE10 and IE11 can both render the exclusion "wrap-flow:both" property, which now allows the positioning of a box element within text. The only problem is the box element needs to be positioned absolutely, which makes for difficulties if multiple paragraphs need to be flowed across it. In the following example, I have used some old techniques to overcome the problem, e.g. placed all the text in one <p> tag and used pseudo paragraph breaks. http://countjustonce.com/test/css-exclusion.html Barry -------------------------- On Sun, 19 Jul 2015 01:12:26 +1200, Billie Walsh via <[email protected]> wrote: > The shape tag writes over the image? > > I can create all sorts of shapes but they are all inside boxes with > transparent backgrounds. ------------------------------ Message: 6 Date: Sun, 19 Jul 2015 02:38:34 -0400 From: TilburyCM <[email protected]> Subject: [FreeHelp] Guestbook styling To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Hello again, Back to work to try to finalise my South Tawton pages: is it possible to - style the title of the Guestbook which appears automatically when the gbk is called: at present it's in large black characters, which don't suit the style of these pages; -- reset the a:visited to the a:link definition when returning to the page: at present, having link, visited and hover defined, once the gbk has been visited, when going back to the page from within the group (separate folder), the a:visited colour appears, whereas I would like it to return to the a:link colour; ie a:visited while writing a message for the gbk, after reading it, but a:link style when returning to the gbk write page. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~cmtilbury/stawton/st_conta cts_guestbook.html Caroline ____ "Tilberia" http://freepages.family.rootsweb.com/~cmtilbury "TheTilbury Magazine" http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~cmtilbury/ttm/ttm_frontpag e.html Every path has its puddle.
