SEARCHING FOR A COST EFFECTIVE BPCR SCOPE SOLUTION

[TexasMac]

Hey guys,

I just updated an article on my web site titled “SEARCHING FOR A COST EFFECTIVE BPCR SCOPE SOLUTION”.  Those of you that are considering a scope may find the information valuable or at least interesting.  It chronicles the research and steps I went through in coming to a decision on a scope for my rifles.  To view the article go to my web site (http://www.texas-mac.com) and click on the articles tab.

Nice article, Wayne!

In the body you have this code:
=========================
<div id="e9" style="position:absolute;left:57;top:17066;width:594;height:503;"><!--$img %ImageAssetImpl:/images/Unertl_Mount_De-Clicked2.jpg$--><img src="sitebuilder/images/Unertl_Mount_De-Clicked2-594x503.jpg" width="594" height="503" alt=""></div>
=========================

Just FYI, it might display fine in your browser, but it won't in mine--the photos overlay the text. 

If you edit the source, which looks like something that the sitebuilder folks generated for you as you created the page, and change the flow somewhat, it'll be more readable.

Here's a reasonable substitute, if you want to play around with it:
===========================
<p>
<img src="sitebuilder/images/Unertl_Mount_De-Clicked2-594x503.jpg" hspace="10" vspace="10" align="LEFT">
<br clear="LEFT">

<TT>&LT;Unertl Mount De-Clicked&GT;</TT><BR>

This is a photo of the Unertl mount.......<BR>
===========================

All the &LT; and &GT; does is give you the less than (<) and greater than (>) signs in HTML.  I copied the source from my website and then pasted in your image and the  descriptions.  I'd beaten my head against the wall one day trying to get the description bracketed with <>, so it's there for ya for free.  Definitely not needed. 

What IS needed is the hspace and vspace statements and the align and clear (left in this case--could be center or right).  Then your text will flow around the photo just fine. 

Hope you're not offended because that is NOT my intention--just trying to help someone who has a lot (and a lot is a LOT) of good information.

Hi Keith,

I'm not in the least bit offended and thank you very much for taking the time to highlight a problem, but based on your comments I cannot identify anything wrong.  I just checked the site page and scanned the complete article with both Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox browsers and it looks fine.  I also had two friends check the page and they couldn't find anything wrong.  We are all using PC's.  I doubt it but possibly using either one of these browsers with a Mac may be different.  What computer and browser software are you using?  In any case, I'm not in the least bit HTML proficient and wouldn't be comfortable trying to fix a problem by tweaking the source code.  By the way, the site was created using Yahoo's SiteBuilder, which eliminates the need to understand HTML.

Since Graybeard Outdoors most likely would not appreciate us discussing this further on their site can you send me an email if you have additional comments?  My email address is texas*mac*@*sbc*global*.net (remove all the *'s).  Thanks again.

Regards,
Wayne

LP,

Thanks for the comment.  Keith & I exchanged emails on the subject.  It does not seem to be a browser problem and appears to be OK with Mac's and PC's running Window's Operating Sytems but apparently Yahoo's SiteBuilder software (used to create the site) is not fully compatible with someone using Linux or possibly a Unix-type operating system.  Therefore I included a note addressing the problem on my Articles page (http://www.texas-mac.com/Articles.html).
