I am building a new web site using HTML Editor and one of the layout templates. When I attempt to insert an image into a page, it blanks out all the content. I have tried inserting the image into a table but still the same result, everything disappears! What am I doing wrong?

ALSO, on another website I have, whenever I insert an image it defaults to 'Absolute Position'. I must manually change that every time so I can properly position my image. How can I change that default of 'Absolute Position"?

THANKS!!!

Have you got your site uploaded somewhere, so that we can take a look? It's easier to help if we can see the code.

I don't have the website up yet. So I just posted one of the pages on a seperate website I have. This page is not connected to any pages on that website. You can view it at www.ImpactInternational.net/books.html

You'll notice on the books page I have placed content in tables. When I attempt to insert an image in a table or outside a table, the tables disappear.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Jim,

Do the tables actually disappear, or just move to the bottom of the web page?

If you visit your page, and reduce the width of the browser window, it appears that the large white area is empty, but scrolling down will show the information.

Try putting something like this in your style section:
body {
min-width: 770px;
}

Thanks.

I tried what you said but it didn't work. When I insert an image the content in that area DOES disappear. It is nowhere on my page. There is nothing lower on the page except the footer information located at the bottom of the page.

???

Jim,

I am having trouble following your code, Can you provide a link to the file to which you are trying to insert the image? And upload a second copy of that file with the image inserted. Maybe name the copy something like the original name with the word copy at the beginning.

That will let us see what is happening

with image

The way I have tried to insert the image is through the Visual Editor. I place my cursor at the location I want the picture to be, Then I choose Insert Image from the menu. Then the content disappears. I looked at the code and it appears that I am erasing all the content when I insert the picture. It's as if I have marked all the content and then tried to replace it with a picture. But I haven't marked the content. The cursor operates OK. If I type in a word it works fine.

Maybe I need to only use the Code Editor Page to insert the image. I haven't tried that and I'm not great at code so I will have to use a different website for an example to know exactly what to do.

But I sure don't want to have to use only the Code Editor Page for all of my images. I rather use the Visual Editor Page.


Thanks for your help.

Jim,

You are correct that everything does disappear. I looked at the code on the two pages, and found about 60 lines of code missing, and in the place of the missing code, I found this line:

<img style="Z-INDEX: 100; absolute position" height="26" alt="" src="Luggage Button.png" width="125" border="0">

It almost seems as if you highlighted the area (and effectively the 60 lines of code) and put in the one line of code.

I am stumped. Unless someone else has some ideas as to what is happening here, you should open a ticket with CoffeeCup customer service. You can click on http://www.coffeecup.com/help/ and sign in.

Which template are you using from the HTML Editor? Maybe we could replicate the error and see what is happening. And could you post your image on a page, so we can use that exact image to insert in our test?

This is my first day on the forum. I downloaded the trial version yesterday and my first experience is just what Jim described. I tried starting with a template and inserting a picture through the visual editor. I tried it three or four times with the same result.

So...I did what I thought I shoud and searched the forums. Great, I found one that describes my problem exactly, except...it doesn't look like this was resolved.

Has anyone discovered what is happening here? It makes me fearful of getting too deeply into a page thinking if I insert an image, everything might disappear.

Thanks,
