Templates, Layouts and Sounds / Token confusion
« on: May 17, 2012, 09:37:23 AM »
My objective is to put a static image in a cell that I may easily change, for example, the picture of last week's winner on a background. This is similar to the "Chips" token. If the pictures were all the same dimension, it would be easy enough but I can't find a way to size the pic as it's done with the chips token. The result is that the image ends up covering the words and other images in the background. I'm obviously not good with html.
I have tried creating an HTML token, saving an image as an html file with IE9, then placing that token in the contents of a blank cell within a column. I must manually type my created token name into the contents section since the token I created will not be listed when using the "Insert token" button. The result is a blue bar across the screen with a red X where I assume it is attempting to render the image. I tried <mytoken height="768" width="1024"> with the same result.
My only workaround has been to resize the photos with an image editor.
It's obviously a little bit of fluff but it would be nice to work this out.
Thanks for any help!
