need help with flip book positioning

**otter2** · 10-05-2006, 09:46 AM

1) Flipbook

2) http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex14/bookflip.htm

3) I finally got the flip book to work and it defaulted to the left I believe which is fine for me, but how do I move it up or down or is that possible? Is there something wrong with my code or is there something I should be doing in the position section? Here is that code for that frame.

<html>

<base target="contents">
</head>

<body onload="ImageBook()" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" bgcolor="#99ccff">

<div style="position: absolute; top: 0; left: 725; width: 32; height: 38">

<p> </p>
</div>
<h2 align="center" style="margin-bottom: 0"><b>

<h2 align="center" style="margin-top: 0"><b><font size="5">

<p align="center" style="margin-top: 0"><span style="position: absolute; left: 176; top: 59"><img src="final divider.gif" border="0" width="545" height="51"></span></p>
<p align="center" style="margin-top: 0">                          & nbsp;                         &nbsp ;          <script type="text/javascript">

Wow. No. Don't use   like that. (Or don't just press the spacebar to position if you're using a preview-based webpage editor.)
Use center align or a div with CSS positioning.
Second, the ENTIRE script must be in your document.

Third, the script is in the head section of your page:
<html>
<head>
HERE
</head>
<body>
text, etc.
</body>
</html>
The line:
<body onload="ImageBook()" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" bgcolor="#99ccff">
will make the imagebook appear... no need to put the script in the main part of the text.
The div with id="Book" is where the whole thing will appear.
So...
Just follow the directions on the page and cut/paste:

Code:

<div id="Book" style="position:relative">
<img src="placeholder.gif" width="144" height="227">
</div>

where you want it.

Your inputted values for the images are wrong. Or, rather, the links. You left it as "http://www.dynamicdrive.com", etc. The links on the images should be to YOUR site or the site of your choosing, related to each picture. If you DON'T want that, then just leave it blank, like it says-- "" (meaning blank, since the quotes are empty.)


Huh? Delete that line. Unless you know what it does and want that... 'cause I have no clue.

But still I don't know how to move the book up or down. I know how to center,right,or left align it.
