A Little Help Please?

I'm trying to position a virtual presenter on my home page. But it's looking a bit crowded.

Can anyone help me with placing the VP on the left hand side of the page :

This is the page -> Welcome To http://www.brian-morgan.info/

I ONLY want help on positioning the VP. Nothing else!

Thank you very much.

  • Brian,

    Are you asking how to do this from a technical standpoint? or are you just wondering where the presenter would best fit on the page?

    If it's the latter, in my opinion, she would look best to the immediate left of your opt-in boxes.

    • Hi Steve,

      Yes to both instances. I agree with you about the positioning. Because the page is html and not WP I've found it a tad difficult to determine how best to present my main website's page which is why it's sparse.

      However, I've been given this opportunity to place the VP using a script and I will roll this out to other pages but as you say, ideally it needs to be on the immediate left but I don't know how to do it.

      Thanks again.

    • Bottom left. I'm looking at your source code but can't quite see how you got the positioning :confused:

      Thank you

    • Brian,

      I'm not an HTML expert or even close to it, but I think one solution would be to set up two tables, side by side in the center of your page and put the presenter script in the left box and the opt-in box code in the right box. Then you could adjust the positioning for each within the box itself.

  • Thank you Steve B and Arnold. My PC just crashed so I'll try the latter asap.

    Thanks again

  • I've got a test page I can try. My basic html has the <html> ; <title> and then <body>. Where can I fit in the <head>?

    Thanks

    Brian
  • I do see a <head> in your main page. Maybe just work with that.
  • Try adding px into the code like so:



    and then try messing with the numbers.

  • Okay. Thanks for that.

  • Nah - the above won't work.

    You need to add the styling to the actual container:

    • I've tried to place that between the <style> tags:

      <style type="text/css">
      #2254-haydee {
      z-index: 2147483647;
      position: fixed;
      left: 5px;
      bottom: 0px;
      }
      </style>

      Haydee is still on the right hand side
      Welcome To http://www.brian-morgan.info/

      Thanks

      Brian
      Ps And for some reason I see a 'image' link for the home page just beside the Haydee presenter :confused:
  • If it's plugin/referred script, it may be generating the css on the fly.

    Does their documentation have any info on positioning?

    Out of interest, you may be able to override their css with:

    <style type="text/css">
    #2254-haydee {
    right: 90% !important;
    }
    </style>
