Images In Tables

[matrixxxxxx1]

It would be nice if you can incoporate images and text in tables with BV. (Not background images)

You can already do this. Right click and select cell properties to insert a graphic and just double click the cell to add text.

Hey Racefan

That put it as a back image. I tried that before..Am i missing something?

Re: Images In Tables

Just to clarify why I'm asking.

If anyone here has Firefox. You know when you press Ctrl +/- it increases/decreases the size of the page.

If you were to check out MSN.com for example and try this. You will see that images along with text increase accordingly.

If you try this with with any of these sites here. the text increases but not the images, which causes overlap of text over images or text over text if tables were not used for the text.

So it would be nice to have this feature in BV, which I think Front page has if I'm not mistaken.

Or maybe there's a way and I just haven't figured it out yet.

No, you did it right - I didn't fully understand what you were looking for.

Mike,

What you want is not possible using WYSIWYG Web building.
MSN uses traditional HTML (dynamic page layout = relative positioning) while BlueVoda generates CSS HTML (fixed page layout = absolute positioning). With traditional HTML is it not possible to overlap objects or position object anywhere you like, that's why BlueVoda uses CSS HTML.

Re: Images In Tables

I want the same thing - in order to use tables I have to use the html box - and then that defeats using BV - I'd love to have the table function be more functional (if I remember correctly, it had this capablity in Soho - so it can be done!)

Re: Images In Tables

Pablo,
What does Soho use that it can be done there?

On my last webhost (which I have little good to say about) I could place tables onto the pages and images into the tables and it did use css. So I'm confused. (which isn't new with me).

Soho is browser based (it uses your browser to display/create it's content), so it automatically supports tables.
BlueVoda is build from scratch (it does not use your browser), this means we had to implement all features ourselves. Since tables are very complex to implement, we decided to support only text for now. In the future we will try to extent the features of the tables, but there's still sooooo much to do...

Re: Images In Tables

Thanks Pablo - I look forward to that being a feature - cuz you guys tell us to use tables to avoid overlapping - then make using them mean we can't really use the BV features! So I try to avoid overlap without tables - but times they would come very handy.

Re: Images In Tables

Overlapping is usually caused by using fonts which are not websafe.
If you use the latest version of BV you should have no problems with overlapped elements.

Re: Images In Tables

Pablo,
I'm only using websafe fonts - and I never see overlapping on my sites on my computer, but have heard from a couple people that they see overlapping - have never been able to recreate it - and have asked other forum members - - so it's a mystery!

Hi Beth

I'm not sure if you use Firefox. Firefox has a feature where you can choose how big you wanna view the font. Not to scare you here, but below is a snap shot of one of your links with Firefox set to view bigger font.

Allthough I leave the font set on None and probably alot of other people that use Firefox do as well, that usually shows the viewer the default setting that the web designer provided for thier website.

Anyways that might be the mystery you're looking for.
