How do I insert multiple pictures in a cell

[Guest]

Trying to insert multibple jpg's in one cell with absolute positioning. These
pics are hyperlinked to other pages. Destination cell is a one cell table
with 100 percent width. am trying to get the page to either compress or
expand depending on what size screen is being used. Any help would be
appreciated.

Trying to insert multibple jpg's in one cell with absolute positioning.

Never put absolutely positioned elements into a table cell.

Why do you need to position these images in the first place? And what kind
of layout are you trying to achieve?

Each image needs it's own cell

On second thought that was wrong, you just need to make the cell large enough so that there's room
to click inside with the mouse to create an "insertion point."

To elaborate,
Said one celled table is below my top.htm on my index page. I desire the
one-celled table to fill the remainder of the screen and contain 6 jpg's that
are hyperlinked to other pages on my site, and use absolute positioning to
retain their position to each other within the cell. Using this approach to
try to get the table to resize itself to whatever size monitor the end-user
has.

Just select an image and push the keyboard's right arrow once to move the
IP....

There is no reason (and in fact it's wrong) to use positioned images here.

Nest a 6 column, one row table in this single cell. Put each image into a
separate cell.

 

[Guest]

I believe that is assuming that I want my 6 cells to align either vertically
or horizontally. My aim is to have these 6 jpg's partially overlayed over top
of each other in no particualar fashion. not horizontally or vertically
aligned.

 

[Murray]

I see. Then you would use RELATIVE positioning, not absolute positioning.

 

[Guest]

For the one-celled table or the jpg's or both?

I really appreciate your help

 

[Murray]

I assumed you would be positioning the images, either by placing them into
positionable containers, e.g.,

<div id="foo"><img ...></div>

and then adjusting the location and the z-index of these containers. But
you could also position the images directly, e.g.,

<img id-"foo"...>

In either case you would have CSS like this -

<style type="text/css">
<!--
#foo {
position:relative; left:10px; top:23px; z-index:2;
/* adjust position, and z-index to suit for each container/image */
}
-->
</style>

Note that this positioning is an offset from the place the images *WOULD
HAVE APPEARED* if they had not been positioned.

personally I think it'd be simplier to create a montage of the images in an image editor...jmo

Thanks for your input Rob, but each image will have its own hyperlink

 

[Guest]

How bout in layman's terms. ie graphically no code

You can use individual "hot spots" for linking.

[Murray]

Yes - I'm inclined to agree with you guys....

 

[Murray]

As with many things on the web, you can't get there from here with no code.

Rob and Tom have the correct solution for you.

By the way, you probably shouldn't be using frames.... 8)

 

[=?Windows-1252?Q?Rob_Giordano_\=28aka:_Crash_Gordo]

I like KISS solutions
