Publisher HTML problem with eBay auctions.

M

mono

I'm using Mail and Catalog Merge in Publsher 2003 to generate copy for my
eBay auctions. I have two questions.
Firstly, in order to use this data within an eBay page I would normally cut
and paste the HTML between (but not including) the <body> tags. However when
I look at the Publisher generated HTML it's difficult to tell what code I
should/shouldn't include when I cut and paste?
Secondly the Publisher HTML seems to be positioning my table at an absolute
positiion - when it displays as part of an eBay page it is superimposed on
top of the eBay display - what code is doing this and is there way of
preventing it?

oooooo.... Publisher 2003 is not the right tool for that end-use. I'm sure
eBay is expecting straight html only and not the heavy laden VML and XML
that 2003 uses. For the first question, it is always all the code residing
within the body tags. That is what makes the page. On the second question,
yes 2003 uses CSS2 positioning, something I do cover at
http://www.publishermvps.com . No there is no option to turn that off. That
is the code the page is using.
