Thanks guys... It was the view source part I was missing. I don't know much about HTML but I am trying to learn.

at the end of the script, you should see </script> and right before that you should see (click to view). that's where you want to insert the text. for exmaple, on mine, i did Popular items<br>(click to view)....know what i mean/

Thanks Burntees,

It's there but now it is in Red and I'm not sure why, all of my other text is black or white. Of course, my next question is, how can I make the text white?

This one is not as imporant but, there is a white box above the rotating image, is that supposed to be there or can I make it go away?

Thanks in advance, you guys are always so helpful.

check my script vs yours. looks like you might have a few things that don't match after your text in the very end.

Ok, so hopefully this is my last time asking another dumb question on this thread...

I fixed the white box at the top by removing the img src photobucket stuff from the beginning of the code...

I think the Red text is maybe part of my template but I still haven't figured out how to change it, I've played with all kinds of things but no luck. I don't care if I end up with white text or black but as it stands I have red text on a dark red background so you can't see it unless you highlight it. Any more ideas?

Thanks again!!!

It's not red, it's dark grey, like the rest of your main copy is. Just put a little font color tag around it and make it

<font color=white><b>Current Best Sellers</b><br>(click to view)</font>

OK, now that I've had a moment to look at this again, I attempted to make a ridge border around the rotating images. I don't think I put the code in the right place... because now the images inside the box are not centered. It looks as if my ridge border (which does look nice and matches my template) is anchored top left.... so my products appear to be to far down and to the right (make sense?).

Can anyone tell me how to fix that? Maybe look at my source code and tell me where to move the border attibute to make it centered.

Any help appreciated. Leaving it as is for now. Gotta feed JR.
Steph

Stephjmort -
Don't see what's wrong. The border is there and the images are centered, at least from here. The CSS in the DIV looks ok.

For me the products are not centered, but they were before I put the border in.

It is especially obvious (if you wait as the products scroll through) with the t-shirt image which now appears to be touching the right side of the box, and with the small panoramic framed print (also looks to be touching the right side).

Maybe it's just my computer, but even the greeting card has the bottom slightly cut off. It's just a matter of being off maybe 8 pixels or even less, but it's enough to make things looks screwy, at least to me.

I just figured there was a way to get the border centered, maybe there isn't. I just thought maybe I have the code in the wrong spot... but if you say it looks right, then I guess it's right.

Thanks for checking.
