Flying images aren't flying

**jkimbro01** · 08-23-2007, 09:30 PM

1) Script Title: Floating Images Script

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex4/flyimage.htm

3) Describe problem: Hey all,,,, don't look now but here's another newbie problem!
The floating images script is killin' me.
I'm changing the parts that it says to change,,i.e name of the picture file.

<A HREF="http://dynamicdrive.com"><IMG SRC="test.gif" BORDER=0></a>
</DIV>

Here are my questions:
The picture is in the same folder as the htm file,,do I need the <A HREF= ?stuff or can that line just start with the <IMG etc...?

Then, is there anything in the "moveobj.js" file that needs to be changed?
The directions don't say to but I'm running out of reasons for this thing not to work for me.
Thanks,,Jerry

You can remove:

Code:

<A HREF="http://dynamicdrive.com">  . . .  </a>

from the markup, but you need to keep the rest, ex:

Code:

<div id="flyimage2" style="position:absolute;left:-500px;width:47;height:68;">
<img src="test.gif" border="0">
</div>

The script itself doesn't need to be changed.
