INSERTING PICTURES

[MandyO]

Hi,

I am a TA at a girls school using frontpage. To learn to use Frontpage the
children have to make an imaginary shop/website of their choice. When the
children Google to find pictures for their site, the pictures move all over
the page when we try to save changes. I have tried puting them in text
boxes, tables, layers and designing in Word first and copying across, but the
still move. Can anyone help me please and tell me what I am doing wrong.
This is doing my head!

Regards, Mandy

Hard to say what is happening without seeing the pages or HTML mark up.

Lay out the page using tables and place the pictures in table cells. Or
use CSS and <div> to float the pictures left or right relative to the
body text.

Never use text-boxes. Text boxes are VML graphics, which only render
correctly in Internet Explorer running on Windows PCs. *Non* use of
Text boxes should be on the agenda, but do not teach budding web
designers to use them. See
http://www,rxs-enterprises.org/tests/vml-graphics/ for reasons why VML
should be avoided.

Absolute Positioning (layers) also has its drawbacks - especially when
the user changes the text size or browser portal size. The layers stay
still, the page moves around them.

Seeing a page is the only way to say what is wrong - can you provide a
link or post the code from a faulty page?
