Need Help with inserting Book Flip Script in iWeb

Script: Book Flip Script
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex14/bookflip.htm

I am trying to insert the Book Flip Script into my website via iweb, which I have done successfully with other scripts. My problem here is that all I can see on my site is an empty book frame!? how exactly and where am I to insert the image links? I thought I knew but apparently I need someone to hold my hand

1) I do not understand what to do with the placeholder once I have downloaded it?
2) I also do not understand what to do with the following instruction:

Step 3: Finally, add the below onload event handler inside the <BODY> tag itself:

<body onload="ImageBook()">

Please help, thank you so much!

For info on how to represent your images in the code, and what to do about the placeholder image (you don't need it) see this thread:

About the body onload thing - Every page is required to have a body tag and only one body tag. It contains all of the content for the page. Scripts, styles, the page title and meta tags go in the head section. A typical blank page with the opening body tag highlighted would look like so:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

</head>
<body>

</body>
</html>

Now your opening body tag may already have other junk in it. That doesn't really matter though in most cases. It could look something like:

Code:

<body bgcolor="black" text="red" link="yellow" alink="orange" vlink="white" background="image.gif">

If you have a plain one like:

Code:

<body>

make it like:

Code:

<body onload="ImageBook()">

If it has other stuff like my example of the other stuff it might have, make it like:

Code:

<body onload="ImageBook()" bgcolor="black" text="red" link="yellow" alink="orange" vlink="white" background="image.gif">

If you want more help:

Please post a link to the page on your site that contains the problematic code so we can check it out.
